The federal Section 30C credit does not apply to a charger placed in service after June 30, 2026.

Utility charger offers and EV rates
Look up the utility for an address in the AFDC U-Finder. What the electricity costs after the charger is in, using the EIA residential average, is on the Delaware charging-cost page.
| Utility | Charger offer AFDC lists | EV rate AFDC lists | Links |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delaware Electric Cooperative (DEC) | Not listed | EV Time-of-Use (TOU) Rate | AFDC 13542 utility page |
| Delmarva Power | EV Level 2 Charging Station Purchase Rebate | EV Time-of-Use (TOU) Rate | AFDC 13602 utility page |

What to do with this list
Apply on the program site, not from this page. Ask the electrician for an itemized quote before you buy the charger. Whether the panel can take the circuit is a separate question, and that guide does not publish an upgrade price.
