EV Charging in Oklahoma

Oklahoma has no state EV purchase rebate and no ZEV mandate, but three utilities (OG&E, PSO, and OEC) now offer residential Level 2 charger rebates. NEVI investments target I-35, I-40, and I-44. Oklahoma City and Tulsa are the primary markets. The state's oil economy creates political headwinds for EV policy, and a $0.03/kWh DRIVE Act tax applies to public fast charging.

Policy details

EV time-of-use rates

most utilities

OG&E Oklahoma offers the SmartHours TOU program with super off-peak overnight pricing favorable for EV charging. PSO (Public Service Company of Oklahoma) offers a Time of Use option for residential customers. Municipal utilities and cooperatives in Oklahoma are more variable; most still use flat rates.

Net metering / solar+EV

net billing

Oklahoma credits self-consumed solar at the full retail rate but credits any net excess generation at the utility's avoided-cost rate, typically 2 to 8 cents per kWh against retail rates near 10 to 13 cents. OG&E and PSO follow the rule adopted by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission in 2019, which also raised the system size limit to 300 kW.

Right to charge

No statewide statute

Oklahoma has no right-to-charge statute. HOAs and condominium associations may lawfully restrict or prohibit EV charging station installation, subject only to general architectural-review obligations under the governing documents.

EV registration fees

Oklahoma's fees scale with GVWR. Vehicles between 6,001 and 10,000 lbs pay $158 EV / $118 PHEV. Recorded values are for vehicles 6,000 lbs or below.

EV: $110/year

PHEV: $82/year

Public charging network

Tesla Supercharger, ChargePoint, and Blink have limited presence. Oklahoma City and Tulsa have basic coverage. I-40 (Route 66 corridor, connecting Tennessee to New Mexico) and I-35 (Kansas to Texas) are primary NEVI targets. Rural Oklahoma has very thin coverage.

Station-network counts for Oklahoma will appear here once the next AFDC ingest runs.

Regulatory Environment

Oklahoma is a major oil and gas state with strong political opposition to EV mandates. No ZEV mandate and no state EV purchase rebate. Under the 2023 DRIVE Act, public charging stations rated above 50 kW have collected a $0.03 per kilowatt-hour state tax since January 1, 2024; private home charging is exempt. HB 2158 (2025) clarified registration rules for those chargers with the Oklahoma Tax Commission. ODOT administers the NEVI corridor program (about $66 million total allocation), and DEQ runs the competitive ChargeOK grant program. Oklahoma still has some of the lowest electricity rates in the US, which trims the per-mile cost advantage of EVs versus gasoline.
