The Thirtieth of June
The credit was not repealed in a visible vote; it was assigned a sunset date buried in a reconciliation statute, one of a staggered row of energy-credit deadlines, and the qualifying rule (placed in service, not merely contracted) makes the date a trap for anyone who waits.

A federal tax credit worth up to $1,000 for a home electric vehicle charger expires June 30, a deadline written into the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act that moved the credit's end date forward by more than eight years.
Why it matters: Up to $1,000 back on a home charger install, plus already-closed windows on solar and EV purchase credits, with the charger window closing in nine days and eligibility limited by census tract and federal tax liability.
Date to watch: June 30, 2026 — the 30C credit's final day; the charger must be operational, not merely ordered or contracted, by that date.
