EV incentives in Georgia

Verified July 2026

No purchase incentive since 2015 — plus the nation's steepest EV fee at $238.59/yr (and it's indexed upward). Utility charger rebates and Cobb EMC's free overnight energy are the only real savings.

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.)
