Verified July 2026
No purchase incentive (the state's grant money is infrastructure-only) — but Alabama Power's $500 charger rebate + night-charging discount is real money. Budget for the $203/yr fee.
The $7,500 federal new-EV credit and $4,000 used-EV credit ended September 30, 2025 — and the federal home-charger credit (30C) followed on June 30, 2026. If anyone tells you otherwise, they're reading an old script. (Charger installed on or before June 30, 2026? That one's still claimable on that year's return — IRS Form 8911.)
No state-level purchase incentive right now — the money in Alabama, if any, is at the utility level.
EV night-charging discount (9pm–5am rate rider) + GridWise managed-charging rewards up to $100/yr.
The catch: Alabama charges EV owners an extra $203/yr at registration.
PHEVs pay $103. The fee has a $3 escalator every 4th year (next bump July 2027) — and a slice of it actually funds public charging grants.
