From what I understand, you can roll the amount over to the next year, unless I'm misunderstanding. This is for solar but I think same applies to EVs.Keep in mind form 8911 applies to businesses and individuals. The part about depreciation is for businesses. Individuals can get a tax credit of 30% up to $1000 for the installation of property for the purpose of recharging an electric vehicle. So if you had a charger plugged into an outlet to charge you vehicle it should apply. Some people leave there mobile charger plugged in all the time so it would be pretty easy to argue the purpose of the plug is to charge an electric vehicle.
also remember it is a tax credit so if you try to claim it and the $7500 electric vehicle credit in the same year you may not have paid enough taxes to get the full credit. For instance last year I paid about $6000 in taxes so all I will be able to get back is $6000 so I won’t even be able to take advantage of the full $7500 and none of the cost of installing the charger.
"You'll receive your tax credit the following year when you file your taxes for the year in which you installed your panels. If you don't qualify for the entire tax credit in the first year you can roll over the amount for up to 5 years. "
