The short answer: New Mexico has at least one resident or make-ready amount in the sources below. Read the audience label on every other program. A public or multifamily grant is not a garage rebate. The federal Section 30C credit does not apply to a charger placed in service after June 30, 2026.

P.L. 119-21, commonly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, changed the termination date for the section 30C alternative fuel vehicle refueling property credit from December 31, 2032, to June 30, 2026.

Programs that are not a single-family garage rebate
These are included so a workplace grant, a multifamily grant, or a fuel credit that is not electricity is not read as money off a home charger.
No other state or local charger program was included for this state in the reviewed set.
Utility charger offers and EV rates
Look up the utility for an address in the AFDC U-Finder. What the electricity costs after the charger is in, using the EIA residential average, is on the New Mexico charging-cost page.

What to do with this list
Apply on the program site, not from this page. Ask the electrician for an itemized quote before you buy the charger. Whether the panel can take the circuit is a separate question, and that guide does not publish an upgrade price.

FAQ: home charger rebates in New Mexico
Is there a rebate for a home Level 2 charger in New Mexico?
New Mexico has at least one resident or make-ready amount in the sources below. Read the audience label on every other program. A public or multifamily grant is not a garage rebate. The federal Section 30C credit does not apply to a charger placed in service after June 30, 2026.
Can a new home Level 2 installation in New Mexico still claim the federal 30C credit?
P.L. 119-21, commonly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, changed the termination date for the section 30C alternative fuel vehicle refueling property credit from December 31, 2032, to June 30, 2026. You can't claim the credit for alternative fuel vehicle refueling property placed in service after June 30, 2026.

Where do I confirm the amount before I buy?
Use the program link on this page. Funding can be exhausted before the AFDC record comes down. A utility row that names a rebate does not state the dollars. The panel question is separate, on the panel guide, and the installation-cost page does not invent a statewide installation price.
