Jump to insightCurrent EV incentives in Utah
If you’re a Utah resident, you can take advantage of one financial incentive when installing home EV charging equipment, but not when purchasing an EV. Even then, the only tax credit program for home charger installations is available through the federal government, not the state.
Rocky Mountain Power previously offered a 75% rebate — up to $200 — for installing a home EV charger, but the program was discontinued for 2026, and the utility provider currently offers such rebates only to commercial property owners. And while the federal Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Tax Credit offers up to $1,000 in tax credits for home EV charger installations, it’s set to expire on June 30, 2026.
Electric vehicle purchase incentives in Utah
Utah doesn’t offer financial incentives, such as rebates, for purchasing an electric vehicle. You also won’t get a tax credit from the federal government, since the New Clean Vehicle Credit and Previously-Owned Clean Vehicle Credit programs only applied to EVs purchased on or before September 30, 2025. In fact, you’ll pay more to drive an EV in Utah.
As of 2026, EV owners can either pay a flat $180 annual fee (road usage charge) when registering an EV or enroll in the state’s Road Usage Charge (RUC) program, which charges 1.25 cents per mile driven, capped at $180 per year. By comparison, registration fees are only $62.25 for plug-in hybrids and $24.25 for gas hybrid vehicles.
The Utah Department of Transportation (UTDOT) indicates this makes up for the fact that EV owners “contribute little or no gas tax revenue as compared to owners of conventional vehicles.”
EV charging equipment incentives in Utah
Utah doesn’t offer any state tax credits or utility-based rebates for installing a residential EV charger at your home. However, you can still take advantage of the federal Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Tax Credit through June 30, 2026. This program provides up to $1,000 in tax credits for installing a qualified vehicle charger at your home or business.
Rocky Mountain Power formerly offered a rebate for installing a home EV charger, but the program was discontinued. For businesses, communities and multifamily properties, it offers the following rebates for equipment and chargers that meet the program requirements:
- 75% of the total cost of a Level 2 charger (up to $1,000 per charger for a single port or $1,500 for a dual port)
- 75% of the total cost of a DC fast charger at a charging rate greater than or equal to 150 kW per port (up to $30,000 per charger for a single port or $42,000 for a dual port)
- 75% of the total cost of a DC fast charger at a charging rate less than 150 kW per port (up to $15,000 per charger for a single port or $21,000 for a dual port)
How much can EV incentives save you in Utah?
In Utah, limited incentives for EVs mean you won’t save much by ditching gas. The maximum amount you could save in incentives is $1,000 for home charging equipment through the federal government, but that’s set to expire soon.
If you’re the owner of a business or a multifamily property, you can still qualify for Rocky Mountain Power’s EV charger rebate, which offers a rebate of 75% of equipment costs up to a capped amount depending on the charger type.
In short, don’t count on rebates or incentives for an EV if you live in Utah, and budget for the additional registration and road usage fees.
