In Alabama
, drivers who purchase eligible electric or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles can save up to $7,500 with the federal and state incentive programs. Did you know that 90% of the USA’s transportation energy consumption comes from petroleum? Even worse, transportation is the primary source of greenhouse gases at 29% nationwide.
To encourage more people to go electric, many states offer financial incentives. These are usually rebates that can help make the cost of an electric vehicle more affordable.
How much can I save with the Alabama electric vehicle incentive?
Unfortunately, Alabama does not offer any vehicle-based incentives.
The state does offer a rate rider to help offset the electricity costs for charging an electric vehicle. In other words, Alabama offers a discount on electricity for drivers who charge their PEVs
(plug-in electric vehicles) during off-peak hours. Alabama drivers can still access the federal tax credit, which could save you up to $7,500 depending on the car’s battery capacity.
How to get the Alabama electric vehicle incentive
To be eligible for the discounted electricity rate, you must be a residential EV customer with Alabama Power
. Once you provide the company with approved documentation verifying ownership, you will receive a discount of 1.7155 cents per kWh during off-peak charging hours. The incentive is available for three years and will expire unless renewed by the driver. More information about state incentive programs is available through the National Conference of State Legislatures
