An electric vehicle (EV) is a car propelled by one or more electric motors, using energy stored in one or more rechargeable batteries.
In Arkansas, electric vehicles (EVs) are subject to specific regulations and incentives designed to promote their use. The state offers various tax incentives, including a state income tax credit for the purchase and installation of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE). Additionally, Arkansas has adopted the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Plan, which aims to expand the state's EV charging infrastructure. Arkansas also follows federal regulations and benefits from federal incentives, such as the Qualified Plug-In Electric Drive Motor Vehicle Tax Credit, which provides a federal income tax credit for the purchase of a new qualified EV. It's important for EV owners and prospective buyers to stay informed about the latest state and federal laws and incentives that may affect the ownership and operation of electric vehicles in Arkansas.
