EV incentives in Arkansas

Verified July 2026

No state consumer program at all (the one charger rebate program spent its funds and was for businesses anyway). A $250 utility charger rebate is the only cash — and you'll pay a steep $200/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.)

What AR offers on the purchase

No state-level purchase incentive right now — the money in Arkansas, if any, is at the utility level.

Home charger money

The catch: Arkansas charges EV owners an extra $200/yr at registration.

PHEVs pay $100/yr, hybrids $50/yr — all on top of standard registration.
