Financial Incentives for Businesses to Install EV Charging Stations
One of the most impactful ways a business can embrace sustainable practices is by offering electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at your business premises. Not only does this attract environmentally conscious customers, but it can also bring about significant financial benefits.
The Electric Vehicle Revolution
If you haven't noticed yet, electric vehicles are here and not going anywhere anytime soon. Which means more and more people are making the switch to eco-friendly transportation. As a business owner, catering to this growing market can be a strategic move. By installing EV charging stations at your establishment positions your business as forward-thinking.
Let's learn about some of the financial incentives available at the federal, state, and even local levels:
Federal Tax Credits: Businesses that install EV charging stations can qualify for up to 30% in government tax credits. This credit can significantly offset your initial investment.
State and Local Grants: Many states like here in Oregon and local governments provide grants and rebates to businesses that install charging stations. Recently, Oregon Department of Transportation’s new Community Charging Rebates program was why 370 electric vehicle charging stations were installed. Incentives like these can help cover a substantial portion of your installation expenses.
Utility Incentives: Utility companies are a great place to research when looking for EV charging station installation incentives. An incentive example could include reduced electricity rates during off-peak hours, which can lead to long-term operational savings.
Green Building Certifications: Earn points towards green building certifications like LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) by installing EV charging stations at your business. Achieving such certifications can result in reduced property taxes and other financial benefits.
