Can I stack this utility rebate with the federal tax credit?

Yes. The federal §30C Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit covers 30% of EV charger and installation costs (up to $1,000 for homeowners). You can claim this federal credit AND your utility rebate together for maximum savings.
