Mississippi

MS2 / 10Adoption

Mississippi has no state EV rebate, no ZEV mandate, and is among the lowest-adoption states in the US. Mississippi Power, Entergy Mississippi, and TVA-served electric cooperatives do not currently publish dedicated EV rate riders or residential charger rebates. NEVI investments target I-55, I-20, and I-59 corridors. Jackson is the primary EV market. Federal programs are the only available incentives.

Time-of-use rates

Peak windows and prices are set by each utility and change at rate cases.

Availability
rare
Summary
Neither Entergy Mississippi nor Mississippi Power (a Southern Company subsidiary) currently publishes a dedicated residential EV time-of-use rate. Both investor-owned utilities offer optional whole-house TOU schedules through Mississippi Public Service Commission tariff filings, but EV-specific pricing is not broadly available. Electric cooperatives serving northern Mississippi distribute TVA wholesale power, and most cooperatives statewide rely on flat residential rates.

Net metering and solar export

Matters if you pair rooftop solar with home charging.

Net metering / solar + EVnet billing
Status
net billing
Summary
Mississippi adopted Net Renewable Generation Rules through Public Service Commission Order in 2022, replacing the prior net metering rule. Exports are credited at avoided cost plus a 2.5 cent per kWh adder for residential customers; a second 2 cent per kWh adder applies to customers at or below 250 percent of the federal poverty line. The rule is in place for at least five years from the order date.

Utilities

Utilities serving Mississippi

Your EV rate, rebates, and make-ready programs depend on who serves your address.

Utility coverage for Mississippi is being expanded. Major utility pages will appear here as they ship.

Network

Public charging network

ChargePoint and Blink have minimal presence. Jackson has basic coverage. I-55 (Memphis to New Orleans) is the primary NEVI corridor. Mississippi's warm climate means no cold-weather range concerns, but charging infrastructure is among the thinnest in the country.

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

Context

Regulatory environment

Mississippi has no ZEV mandate and no state EV programs. MDOT is administering NEVI corridor funds, which are the primary driver of EV infrastructure development in the state.
