Hardwired or plug-in?
Hardwired is faster (up to 80A vs 40A for plug-in), more permanent, and required for some commercial settings. Plug-in (NEMA 14-50) is cheaper to install, portable if you move, and easier to replace.
How does the IRA EV charger tax credit work?
The federal Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit (IRA section 30C) covers 30 percent of the cost, capped at $1,000 for residential installs. The property must be in an eligible census tract — many but not all Ohio addresses qualify.
