A Comprehensive Guide To Alaska EV Tax Credits, Rebates and Charging Incentives

4 Min. Read

Thanks to advancements in battery technology, electric vehicles can withstand extreme weather and be a viable option in Alaska.

While remoteness remains a barrier, EVs are a great option if you’re mostly driving around town and are looking for ways to pay less for transportation. You could save even more using the utilities’ Alaska EV rebate programs.

Alaska Electric Vehicle Tax Credits, Rebates, and Incentives

Alaska EV rebate programs could be added as interest in EV adoption grows, but as of 2025, there are no EV charging rebates and tax credits at the state level.

It doesn’t mean no savings: Alaskan residents and businesses can claim federal tax credits or save with Alaskan utilities.

Alaska EV Rebates

As of 2025, the only way to save on an EV purchase is to claim the Alaska EV rebate offered by Alaska Power and Telephone.

Alaska Power and Telephone

If you live in one of the 40 communities served by Alaska Power and Telephone, you can claim a $500 Alaska EV rebate just for buying an EV. Any electric car or motorcycle with a battery size over 14 kWh qualifies.

Federal Tax Credits

Individuals and businesses can get a nonrefundable income tax credit of up to $7,500 for buying an EV. They can also save 30% or up to $1,000 on a Level 2 charger.

There are a few things to keep in mind if you’re thinking about claiming the federal EV tax credit:

• It’s income-based, which means not everyone qualifies.
• Only some EV makes and models are eligible.
• It’s a nonrefundable credit that will lower your tax bill. It won’t count toward your tax refund.
• Businesses can claim this credit. It’s a great way to save on fleet electrification.
• The restrictions on the tax credit on charging stations are less stringent, but your property must be in a low-income or non-urban area to qualify.

Alaska EV Charger Rebates

Are you considering installing a Level 2 charger to charge your EV at home? Before you find a qualified installer, check if your utility offers an Alaska EV rebate on chargers.

Alaska Power and Telephone

This Alaska EV charger rebate isn’t available to residents, but local and tribal governments can receive up to $1,000 to help cover the cost of installing a public EV charging station.

Chugach Electric Association

As a Chugach Electric Association residential customer, you can claim a $200 rebate on Level 2 home chargers.

Kodiak Electric Association

You could get up to $500 back on the cost of a residential EV charger with the Kodiak Electric Association. If the utility approves your project, you’ll receive a $500 rebate spread over the 12 months following the installation.

Alaska EV Charging Rates for Residents

At $0.24 per kWh, Alaska’s average residential electrical rate is slightly higher than the rest of the country. This is primarily due to the state’s highly fragmented and spread-out power grid, which covers vast areas.

For EV owners, charging at home remains cheaper than in public, and EV charging plans can unlock further savings.

Alaska Electric Light & Power Company

This utility offers a special rate for EV owners. Instead of paying the standard rate of $0.10 per kWh, you can set up a separate meter for your at-home charger and pay $0.05 per kWh.

Public EV Charging Stations in Alaska

Alaska’s public EV charging network is growing due to efforts from businesses, utility companies, and public agencies. For instance, the Alaska Energy Authority has used NEVI funds to install Level 2 chargers at public facilities in Anchorage.

How Many Public EV Charging Stations Are in Alaska?

Alaska has over 60 EV charging locations and a little over 140 ports. More than 50 stations offer Level 2 charging, with over 100 ports available. DC Fast chargers account for around 20 locations and over 40 ports.

You have two options if you’re looking for a Tesla Supercharger location. The Ford BlueOval network, with around 15 locations in the Anchorage area, is another option to consider.

How Much Does Charging with Public EV Charging Stations Cost in Alaska?

Prices vary by network and location. For instance, the two DC Fast chargers owned and operated by the Grand Valley Electric Association in Fairbanks cost $0.20 per minute. If you charge at the Midas auto repair shop on East Steam Commons Avenue in Wasilla, you’ll have to pay $4 per hour.

Are There Free EV Charging Stations in Alaska?

The charging station inside the East Park Garage on 7th Avenue and G Street in Anchorage and the charger at the Alaska Electric Light & Power facility on Tonsgard Court in Juneau are free to use.

Where Are EV Charging Stations Located in Alaska?

Major cities like Anchorage and Juneau have more charging options. Generally speaking, you’ll find EV stations along the state’s Southern coast. Look at this map for a better idea of where to find EV charging options.
