Mississippi EV Tax Credits, Rebates and Incentives
In this guide, we explore Mississippi’s EV tax credits, rebates, and incentives, highlighting how these initiatives can help residents make the switch to electrified transportation.
Mississippi EV Tax Credit
Mississippi does not have a state-wide EV tax credit, but residents may qualify for federal EV tax credits like the $7,500 clean vehicle tax credit for new vehicles, or the $4,000 used clean vehicle tax credit.
Additionally, the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit provides a federal tax credit up to $1,000 to offset costs related to installing an EV charger at home. Businesses can claim EV charger tax credits worth up to $100,000.
Mississippi EV Charger Rebates
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.
Additionally, one utility in Mississippi offers EV charger rebates:
Mississippi Power
Mississippi Power has an online marketplace with instant rebates on Level 2 EV chargers, including hardwired and plug-in models. The amount of the rebate varies based on the product you select.
EV Charging Rates in Mississippi
You’ll likely get an advantageous electric rate when charging your EV at home, given that Mississippi utilities charge $0.14 per kWh on average.
To further help EV owners reduce charging costs by encouraging off-peak charging, utilities in Mississippi offer time-of-use (TOU) electricity rates designed to lower the cost of charging EVs.
These TOU plans incentivize vehicle charging during off-peak hours, making EV ownership more affordable.
Coast Electric Power Association
The Coast Electric Power Association can help you save by reducing your electricity usage between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. in the summer and 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. in the winter. During these on-peak hours, you’ll pay $0.35 per kWh. To make up for this higher rate, you’ll only pay $0.04 per kWh of electricity you use outside of these hours.
Southern Pine Electric Power Association
Southern Pine Electric Power offers time-of-use electricity rates of $0.18 per on-peak kWh and $0.06 per off-peak kWh. In the summer, you’ll get the on-peak rate from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. In the winter, you’ll pay more between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. and again from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Public EV Charging Stations in Mississippi
The Mississippi Department of Transportation is working on adding charging stations along several major highways, including I-22, I-55, I-59, I-10, and I-69. These alternative fuels corridors will make the state more EV friendly.
How Many Public EV Charging Stations Are in Mississippi?
As of July 2025, Mississippi has over 196 public charging stations including 133 Level 2 and 66 DC Fast stations. There are 530 public EV charging ports, 11 Tesla Supercharger stations and 112 Tesla Supercharger ports in Mississippi.
How Much Do Public EV Charging Stations Cost in Mississippi?
Rates and pricing structure can vary from one charging network to another. For instance, you can charge at the Eagle Ridge Conference Center in Raymond, MS, for $0.15 per kWh.
In Philadelphia, MS, the charging station located at Joey’s Mini Mart costs a flat fee of $5 for a full charge. In Columbus, MS, you’ll have to pay $0.42 per kWh to charge your EV at the station located at the Columbus Light & Water Department.

Where Are Public EV Charging Stations Located in Mississippi?
You should soon see more EV charging stations along major highways in Mississippi. For now, urban areas like Jackson, Biloxi, or Southaven tend to have more charging options.
Visit the U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center Map of EV Charging Station Locations in Mississippi, 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 Mississippi
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.
