Arkansas has no state EV rebate. Entergy Arkansas and SWEPCO each pay $250 toward an ENERGY STAR home Level 2 charger, and you owe a $200/yr EV fee on top.
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 Arkansas, if any, is at the utility level.
The catch: Arkansas charges EV owners an extra $200/yr at registration. Plug-in hybrids pay $100/yr. See every state's EV fee, ranked.
PHEVs pay $100/yr, hybrids $50/yr, all on top of standard registration.
