Frequently asked questions
Which states pay carbon credits for EV charging?
Three states run live, tradable clean-fuel credit markets that pay charging operators: California (Low Carbon Fuel Standard), Oregon (Clean Fuels Program), and Washington (Clean Fuel Standard). Other states rely on charging fees plus federal (30C) and utility incentives.
How much carbon-credit revenue can a charger earn?
Revenue depends on kWh throughput and the prevailing credit price. At current pricing, a typical 8-stall DC fast site in a clean-fuel state generates additional five-figure annual credit revenue on top of charging fees.
How often are credits paid?
Credits are issued quarterly based on metered kWh dispensed. Prices fluctuate with market demand — Charge ROI uses the latest CARB monthly price for California and published quarterly averages for Oregon and Washington.
