The IRS says qualified refueling/recharging property, including EV charging equipment, remains eligible for the credit; for property placed in service at a home or business from January 1, 2023, to June 30, 2026, the credit is still available.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): As of May 26, 2026, a federal EV-charging-related tax incentive was still active through June 30, 2026, so federal support for EV charging had not been fully eliminated.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): never. unknown A for effort

Burlison made a concrete legislative effort by introducing H.R. 1052, the UNPLUG EVs Act, to rescind EV-charging funds from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. But the available evidence shows the underlying federal support was not eliminated: the NEVI program remained active in 2026, and the federal refueling/recharging property credit for EV charging equipment also remained available through June 30, 2026. Because he seriously pursued the promised outcome but did not deliver the elimination of unobligated federal EV-charging funding, this is best scored as never with effort credit.
