Verified July 2026
The South's sleeper: no state program, but Mississippi Power customers can stack up to $1,250 on the EV itself plus $250 on a charger — offset by a $150+/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 Mississippi, if any, is at the utility level.
EV purchase rebates: $1,250 new / $1,000 leased / $750 used BEV (PHEVs less). Apply within 120 days of purchase.
The catch: Mississippi charges EV owners an extra $150+/yr at registration.
The $150 base (PHEV $75) has been CPI-indexed since 2021, so the billed amount is modestly higher — your county tax collector has the current figure.
