EV Charging in Georgia
Georgia has no state EV purchase rebate, but Georgia Power offers a residential charger rebate (up to $250 via the Georgia Power Marketplace, $150 mail-in) and a commercial Charger Plus rebate for business customers. The state hosts significant EV manufacturing, including Hyundai's Metaplant America in Bryan County, multiple SK On battery joint-venture plants, and Rivian's Stanton Springs (Social Circle) project, which broke ground in September 2025 after a 2024 pause. Atlanta ranks among the largest EV markets in the US by volume.

EV time-of-use rates
some utilitiesGeorgia Power, the dominant Georgia IOU, offers two EV-relevant residential plans: Overnight Advantage (formerly Plug-In EV) with a 2.2 cents per kWh super off-peak window from 11pm to 7am, and Nights & Weekends. Georgia EMCs (cooperatives) and municipal utilities largely retain flat rates; Georgia Power covers most of the state but the picture is utility-specific.
Net metering / solar+EV
net billingGeorgia Power does not offer traditional net metering. The Renewable and Nonrenewable Resources (RNR) Solar Buy-Back program credits residential exports at the Solar Avoided Cost rate of roughly 3.2 cents per kWh plus a Georgia Public Service Commission-approved 4 cent per kWh adder, totaling about 7.2 cents per kWh versus a retail rate near 13 cents. Enrollment is first-come, first-served and capped.
Right to charge
No statewide statuteGeorgia has no right-to-charge statute. Condominium and homeowner associations may lawfully restrict or prohibit EV charging station installation under existing governing documents, subject only to general architectural-review obligations.
EV registration fees
Georgia's annual Alternative Fuel Vehicle licensing fee is indexed each July under O.C.G.A. § 40-2-151. The non-commercial BEV fee was $234.97 effective July 1, 2025; commercial was $352.56. PHEV is approximately half the BEV fee under the AFV statute.
EV: $235/year
PHEV: $117/year
Public charging network
Tesla Supercharger, ChargePoint, Blink, and EVgo are active. Atlanta metro has strong charger density. I-75, I-85, and I-20 corridors are reasonably well-served. South Georgia and rural areas have limited coverage. NEVI investments are focusing on I-16 (Macon to Savannah) and I-95 corridors.
Station-network counts for Georgia will appear here once the next AFDC ingest runs.
Regulatory Environment
Georgia has not adopted California's Advanced Clean Cars II standards and has no state ZEV sales mandate. The state hosts large EV manufacturing investment, including Hyundai's Metaplant America in Bryan County (which began Ioniq 5 production in 2024 and added the Ioniq 9 in 2025), multiple SK On battery joint-venture plants, and Rivian's Stanton Springs (Social Circle) project, which broke ground on September 16, 2025 after a 2024 pause. Rivian plans to build R2 and R3 vehicles at Stanton Springs starting in 2028. A 2024 state law requires public EV chargers to dispense electricity by the kilowatt-hour and applies a state motor fuel excise tax to charging revenue beginning January 1, 2027 (the implementation date was extended from 2026 to 2027 by HB 516). GDOT administers NEVI corridor funds; the Georgia State Transportation Board approved Round 2 awards on November 20, 2025, directing $24.4 million to 26 new fast-charging sites along Alternative Fuel Corridors.
