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

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

Does Alaska Have EV Rebates?

As of 2026 there are currently no statewide incentives, rebates, or tax credits for purchasing or leasing EVs in Alaska.

However, you can still save money when driving electric by taking advantage of local EV charger rebates and time-of-use charging rates.

Do utilities in Alaska offer EV charger rebates?

Yes, many electric utilities across Alaska offer rebates for installing home Level 2 EV chargers, often in combination with time‑of‑use or load management programs. Rebate availability, eligibility requirements, and incentive amounts vary by utility service territory.

Here are some of the top utility rebates currently available for Alaska homeowners:

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.

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.

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 mid 2026, Alaska has 76 public EV charging stations including over 57 Level 2 and 29 DC Fast charging stations. There are 7 Tesla Supercharger stations and 51 Tesla Supercharger ports in Alaska.

How Much Do Public EV Charging Stations Cost in Alaska?

It costs an average of $0.501 per kWh to charge an electric car at a public EV charging station in Alaska. Pricing varies from one charging network to another, and charging levels can also impact charging costs.

For example, 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.

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).

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.

With Alaska EV rebate programs on EV chargers and preferred charging rates offered via some utilities, alongside the rapidly growing rate of EV adoption, there’s never been a better time to make the switch to electrification.
