Worked example: one Texas home
Take one home EV charger bought this year. These are example inputs, not typical prices. Each program's own rule gives the amounts below; where one program has several tiers only the largest one counts, separate programs add up, and a percentage offer with no cost entered is shown at its ceiling.
| Utility | Not income-qualified | Moderate income | Low income |
|---|---|---|---|
| Austin Energy | $500 max | $500 max | $500 max |
For a household that is not income-qualified, the example comes to $500 at most, made of $500 from Austin Energy charger. None of the open offers has a separate income-qualified amount, so every household gets the same figure.
Who can use these Texas offers
Every household in Texas covered by Austin Energy can apply; the offers are not limited to one utility's territory. None of these program pages lists an end date, and each can change or stop while funds last.
Federal credit and state IRA rebates
The Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit (IRC §30C) paid 30% of cost, up to $1,000 per item (each charging port is one item). The IRS page says: “Not allowed for property placed in service after June 30, 2026.” For individuals, property bought and placed in service at the main home from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. Not allowed for property placed in service after June 30, 2026. Source: IRS: Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit, 26 U.S.C. §30C, as amended by Public Law 119-21 (July 4, 2025). See what the credit covered and when it ended.
Texas Home Energy Rebates (HOMES and HEAR): Not launched. “Rebates are not currently available.” SECO will set a launch date only after DOE approves the state's plan; in April 2026 it hired APTIM to help design and run the programs.
