Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
No EV charging tax at home
Starting January 1, 2025, you do not pay the EV‑charging tax on electricity from a charger at a residence. This applies whether you rent or own the home. It covers electricity put into your car by any charger located at the residence.
Tax on fast and newer chargers
Tax applies to electricity you buy from Level 3 (fast) chargers. Tax also applies to electricity from Level 1 or Level 2 chargers installed on or after March 22, 2024. It covers electricity delivered into your EV’s battery during a charging session. Separate rules apply for chargers located at a residence.
EV charging tax rules for businesses
Wisconsin applies existing sales‑tax style filing and collection rules to the EV‑charging tax. Some sales‑tax administrative rules do not apply to single‑owner businesses that are disregarded for income tax. The law also defines “electric vehicle” using a federal definition, which sets who is in scope for these tax rules.
