Alaska EV Rebates, Tax Credits and EV Incentives
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.
Alaska EV Rebates
Alaska does not currently offer a state-level EV rebate. However, as of 2025, Alaska Power and Telephone offers rebates on EV purchases:
Alaska Power and Telephone EV Rebate
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.
Alaska EV Charger Rebates & Tax Credits
Charging your EV at home is both affordable and convenient. To achieve the best charging speed with your residential electrical infrastructure, it is essential to install a Level 2 EV charger with the help of a qualified EV charger installation professional.
Alaska EV Charger Tax Credits
Alaska does not have a state-wide tax credit for EV chargers, but residents may qualify for the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit which is a federal tax credit worth up to $1,000 to offset costs related to installing an EV charger at home.
Additionally, businesses may qualify for the 30C commercial charging tax credit, worth up to $100,000 per installed EV charging port and available until June 30, 2026.
Three utility providers in Alaska offer EV charger rebates with incentives ranging from $200 to $1,000 dollars:
Alaska Power and Telephone EV Charger Rebate
The Alaska Power and Telephone 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 EV Charger Rebate
As a Chugach Electric Association residential customer, you can claim a $200 rebate on Level 2 home chargers.
Kodiak Electric Association EV Charger Rebate
Kodiak Electric will credit you up to $500 for installing a residential EV charger within their service territory. Once the utility approves your project, you’ll receive a $500 rebate spread over the 12 months following the install.
EV Charging Rates in Alaska
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 time-of-use (TOU) electricity rates can unlock savings. These plans incentivize vehicle charging during off-peak hours, making EV ownership more affordable.
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?
As of October 2025, Alaska has 66 public EV charging stations including over 54 Level 2 and 22 DC Fast charging stations. There are 3 Tesla Supercharger stations and 20 Tesla Supercharger ports in Alaska.
The Ford BlueOval network, with around 15 locations in the Anchorage area, is another option to consider.
How Much Do 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 Public 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.
Visit the U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center Map of EV Charging Station Locations in Alaska, which can be sorted and filtered based on public access, charger type (Level 1, Level 2, DC Fast), and connector type (NACS, J1772, CCS, CHAdeMO).
Home Electrification Incentives in Alaska
Combining EV ownership with other electrification projects, such as upgrading your home with solar panels & battery storage, or investing in a heat pump, will help you save even more while reducing your environmental impact.
You may qualify for home electrification incentives through your local electricity provider in addition to the U.S. federal government. Scroll down to read tax credit and incentive details for specific home electrification technologies.
Battery Storage
The 25D Residential Clean Energy Tax Credit provides a 30% federal tax credit on the cost of new battery storage systems size 3kWh and larger.
Electrical Panels
The 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit provides a federal tax credit for electrical panel upgrades needed to complete electrification projects like heat pumps and heat pump water heaters (up to 30% of project costs, capped at $600). The 25C tax credit can be used by renters, and homeowners making upgrades to their primary or secondary home.
Qualifying electrical panels must meet the standards of the National Electric Code (NEC) and have a capacity of 200 Amps or more. This means that your new/upgraded panel must be able to serve a load of at least 200 Amps, but you don’t need 200 Amps of incoming utility service. Smart panels may qualify if they allow you to serve a load of 200 Amps.
If you’re claiming 25D for a residential solar or battery storage project and the installation required you to upgrade your main panel, you may be able to apply 25D to electrical panel costs as well.
Heat Pumps & Heat Pump Water Heaters
The 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit also applies to heat pumps and heat pump water heaters. A 30% federal tax credit is available (capped at $2,000 dollars). Eligible technologies must meet certain energy efficiency requirements.
Solar Panels
The 25D Residential Clean Energy Tax Credit also provides a 30% federal tax credit on the cost of photovoltaic (PV) solar panel systems.
