Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
No charging tax at residential stations
Electricity used to charge an electric vehicle at a station located at a residence is exempt from Wisconsin’s charging tax. The exemption covers all charger types, expanding the earlier exemption for Level 3 chargers only. It applies retroactively to electricity delivered beginning January 1, 2025. The charging tax otherwise remains 3 cents per kilowatt-hour.
Charging-tax rules change for single-owner businesses
Wisconsin changes charging-tax rules for single-owner businesses treated as part of their owner for state income-tax purposes. Three specific tax provisions—77.52(7), 77.58(3)(a), and 77.61(19m)(a)—do not apply to the charging tax for these businesses. The supplied text does not explain how this changes their tax bills, filing duties, or payment duties.
