Alabama Power Company

Alabama Power's EV-specific residential option is the EV Night Charging Discount, taken as an optional rider on top of your standard residential rate rather than as a standalone plan. It takes 1.7155 cents per kWh off every kWh your home uses from 9pm to 5am, every night, not just the energy that goes into the car. Daytime use is billed at the normal residential rate, so the value depends on shifting most charging into the late-night window, and the rider has to be renewed each year.

The $500 EV Home Charger Rebate is a one-time payment toward a Level 2 charger and is limited to single-family residential customers who own or lease a BEV or PHEV. It is separate from the rate rider and from EV GridWise+, the managed-charging program that pays up to $100 in the first year (a one-time $50 sign-up gift card plus seasonal participation rewards) for letting Alabama Power optimize home charging through WeaveGrid. A driver can combine the home charger rebate, the night discount, and GridWise+. Businesses use a different track: the separately metered Rate BEVT, which bills a monthly base charge plus time-of-use energy charges rather than a demand charge, and the Make Ready infrastructure rebate, paid per port.

Alabama Power is a vertically integrated, investor-owned utility, so it both generates power and sets retail rates through Alabama Public Service Commission tariffs; there is no competitive retail supplier choice in its territory. Its EV programs, including Make Ready and the BEVT rate, are PSC-approved tariff offerings rather than open-market products, which means terms and funding can change at the regulator's direction and commercial rebate windows depend on remaining program budget.
