The summary below described the credit as modified by H.R. 5376. 
Qualified alternative fuel vehicle refueling equipment, including electric vehicle charging equipment, is eligible for a tax credit of 6% up to $100,000 for each single item of property. Projects that meet the following wage and apprenticeship requirements are entitled to a larger tax credit of 30%.
