Mississippi
MS2 / 10AdoptionMississippi 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.
- Status
- net billing
- Summary
- Mississippi adopted the Mississippi Distributed Generation Rule 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, which stays in place for 25 years from the date a customer begins service; a second 2 cent per kWh adder applies to households at or below 225 percent of the federal poverty level. The Commission may revisit the rule five years from its effective date.
