I learned that the 30% U.S. federal tax credit on home and business EV charging station installations expires at the end of 2020. I'm having one installed in a few weeks, even though I don't expect delivery of the ID.4 Pro I reserved until the second half of 2021. The 40 amp level 2 charger I ordered is overkill for my 2012 Prius Plug-in, but that's OK. I suppose the incoming administration could get a tax credit extension passed, but maybe not.

This credit has been extended in the past (retroactively). My bet would be that it would be extended again sometime after the inauguration/when Congress reconvenes.

Ha I did a bunch of searching to find the site, only to find you (TimD) posted it already. ;) Thanks!
Note the receptacle in the ID.4 is the J1772 standard, so apparently we can get any charger with that type of plug.

Given the type of year that 2020 has been I would expect the US Federal tax credit to be extended. However I recently installed a ChargePoint, and App-enabled it, just in case.

A nice greenish glow in the garage while I await some useful purpose. ;)

I had a JuiceBox 40 installed for the same reason. I have a purple glow while waiting. 😈

Also, anyone planning to install an EVSE should check with their electric utility company. I was able to get a $250 rebate for my installation.

Yes, very good point. Alas in my area only commercial applications (office parking lot, etc.) get a utility company rebate. But many other areas do get a rebate. Check also your State/Commonwealth programs.

Was anyone successful in getting the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit? My return has been accepted, but not yet received. I am a bit worried since my tax software did not ask for any receipts regarding my evse purchase.

It took the IRS 6 weeks to process my electronic return. Form 8911 for the 30% tax credit for my EVSE was accepted with no receipts required.

Charge Point (maker of EV home chargers) states: "
The US Federal Tax Credit gives individuals 30% off a ChargePoint Home Electric Vehicle charging station plus installation costs (up to $1,000). Must purchase and install by December 31, 2021 and claim the credit on your federal tax return." Looks like it is good through 2021.
