Charging, fleets and heavy vehicles

Individuals can apply to these, but the money pays for charging equipment, fleet or heavy-duty vehicles or fueling stations rather than for a car.

Qualified Heavy-Duty Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) Tax Credit State Incentives

Taxpayers may be eligible for a tax credit for the purchase of a qualified heavy-duty AFV. The qualified heavy-duty AFV tax credit is available through July 1, 2029. Qualifying fuels include natural gas, electricity, and hydrogen. Each qualified heavy-duty AFV is eligible for the following tax credit amounts:

Year

Credit Amount

2023

$12,000

2024

$10,500

2025

$9,000

2026

$7,500

2027

$6,000

2028

$4,500

2029

$3,000

2030

$1,500

At least 50% of the qualified vehicle's miles must be driven in the state. A single taxpayer may claim credits for up to 10 AFVs annually. If more than 30% of the total available tax credits in a single year have not been claimed by May 1, a taxpayer may apply for credits for an additional eight AFVs. Up to 25% of the tax credits are reserved for taxpayers with small fleets of less than 40 vehicles. Additional conditions and restrictions may apply. For more information, see the Utah Department of Environmental Quality Alternative Fuel Heavy Duty Vehicle Tax Credit Program website.
