Fleets with limited space, or fleets needing more fueling locations along their routes can take advantage of this option with no infrastructure investment. Network refueling stations are accessible 24/7 through a card lock system.

National Tax Credit Information
If you’re installing propane fueling infrastructure between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2032, you may qualify for the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit. Businesses can receive:
- 6% of installation costs (up to $100,000), or
- 30% of installation costs (up to $100,000) if labor and apprenticeship rules are met.
This credit applies to fuel dispensers and essential parts like installation labor. Tax-exempt entities, including state and local governments, may also qualify for the same credit.
For residential installations, consumers can claim a credit of up to 30% of the cost (up to $1,000) for propane fueling equipment installed at their homes.
To qualify, fueling equipment must be installed in a low-income or rural area. Check if your location qualifies using the 30C Tax Credit Eligibility Locator.
