Alabama Power offers customers two incentives to support EV adoption
In Alabama, Alabama Power said it will be offering two incentives for residential customers who own or are considering purchasing an electric vehicle to save money when they charge their vehicle at home. “These incentives are one way we are helping customers to innovate their lifestyle and achieve long-term energy savings,” said Tony Smoke, senior vice president of Marketing and Economic Development at Alabama Power “As technology advances and the needs of our customers evolve, we are focused on providing new ways to assist them.” The company noted that customers can receive a one-time $500 rebate for the purchase and installation of a Level 2 (240V) charger at their home. Adding a Level 2 charger allows owners to charge up to 10 times faster than a Level 1 (120V) charger, according to Alabama Power. Also, customers can save on their electric bill by charging their electric vehicle at home at a discounted rate during the off-peak hours of 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. To qualify, customers must own or lease a plug-in electric vehicle manufactured primarily for use on public streets, roads and highways, the company added. “At Alabama Power, we want to help innovate our state while boosting energy efficiency,” Smoke said. “It is our hope that the incentives we’re offering help our customers take the next step in adopting a new technology.”
