The short answer: District of Columbia has at least one resident or make-ready amount in the sources below. Read the audience label on every other program. A public or multifamily grant is not a garage rebate. The federal Section 30C credit does not apply to a charger placed in service after June 30, 2026.

Programs a resident may apply for
Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) Conversion and Infrastructure Tax Credit
AFDC significant update 7/22/2014; AFDC status enacted. District of Columbia income tax credit. The $1,000 figure is the residential charging-station cap. The $10,000 figure in the same sentence is for a publicly accessible station. A vehicle-conversion amount in the same AFDC record is not repeated here. The OTR FAQ HTML retrieved on October 30, 2026 did not display these dollar amounts, so the figures are the AFDC summary of the cited DC Code.
Links: AFDC law 11493; program site.
A tax credit is also available for 50% of the equipment and labor costs for the purchase and installation of alternative fuel infrastructure on qualified AFV fueling property.

Programs that are not a single-family garage rebate
These are included so a workplace grant, a multifamily grant, or a fuel credit that is not electricity is not read as money off a home charger.
No other state or local charger program was included for this state in the reviewed set.
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 District of Columbia charging-cost page.
| Utility | Charger offer AFDC lists | EV rate AFDC lists | Links |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pepco | EV Level 2 Charging Station Purchase Rebate | Not listed | AFDC 13707 utility page |
Swipe the table sideways on a small screen. Open the utility tariff for cents per kilowatt-hour. This page does not add a rate AFDC does not print.
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.
