An electric vehicle (EV) is a car propelled by one or more electric motors, using energy stored in one or more rechargeable batteries.
In Alabama, electric vehicles (EVs) are subject to specific regulations and incentives designed to promote their use and address environmental concerns. The state imposes a license tax and registration fee specific to electric vehicles, which is higher than the fee for gasoline-powered cars, to account for the road use taxes that EV owners do not pay at the pump. Additionally, Alabama may offer incentives such as tax credits, rebates, and grants for the purchase and use of electric vehicles and the installation of charging infrastructure. These incentives can vary over time and may be subject to legislative changes. It's important for EV owners or prospective buyers in Alabama to stay informed about the current state statutes and federal laws that could affect the ownership and operation of an electric vehicle, including any local ordinances that may apply.
