Huntsville Utilities

Huntsville Utilities does not offer a residential EV rate or a time-of-use rate. Residential customers are billed on the standard Schedule RS, where the per-kWh energy charge does not change by hour of day, and the utility states that it has no peak rate schedule. The price moves only with TVA's monthly fuel cost adjustment, not with peak and off-peak windows. That means a Huntsville Utilities customer pays the same rate to charge an EV overnight as during the afternoon.

The one EV-specific rate is commercial: Schedule GSA includes an EV Level 3 DC Fast Charger rate with a $100.00 monthly customer charge, a flat per-kWh energy charge, and no demand charge, effective October 1, 2026. Huntsville Utilities has no confirmed home or commercial charger rebate, so there is no standing utility incentive to stack against these rates. EV charging support that reaches Huntsville generally comes from TVA and the state. TVA EnergyRight lists a charger marketplace, a charging cost calculator, and a Fast Charge Network, and Huntsville Utilities helped create a public solar-powered charging station at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center.

The defining caveat for Huntsville Utilities customers is the TVA relationship. The utility is municipally owned and buys wholesale power from TVA, so most EV programs marketed to north Alabama residents are TVA EnergyRight or state of Alabama initiatives rather than Huntsville Utilities programs. The state's ADECA EV charging infrastructure program supports publicly accessible chargers along non-interstate corridors. The federal 30C charger credit ended June 30, 2026, so charger incentives now depend on state and utility programs rather than a federal credit.
