3. Fills a critical gap in PEV
Infrastructure needs
Extends the range of PEVs
and builds the market
Allows for more electric
only miles for PHEV’s
Creates local ‘PEV
showrooms’ for info sharing
on vehicles
EV’s can act as ‘employee
pool cars’ for day trips

14. Tax Questions
While no specific rules mention EV charging, these
rules are being used as guidelines
• Taxpayers can exclude from gross income any
fringe benefit that qualifies as a “de minimis”
fringe benefit (section 132(a)(4) of the Code). EV
charging not specifically identified
• Section 132 (f)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue
Code, “Commuter Tax Benefits,” allows for a
fringe benefit exclusion for qualified parking. In
2013 this value was $245 per month.

explicit, related examples of
de minimus limits are:
