Kentucky Power Company
Kentucky Power Company, an American Electric Power operating company, serves about 162,500 customers across roughly 20 counties in the Appalachian region of eastern Kentucky, regulated by the Kentucky Public Service Commission. As of October 2026, Kentucky Power does not offer an EV-specific time-of-use rate, a residential or commercial EV charger rebate, or a managed-charging program of its own; residential customers take service on the standard Residential Service (R.S.) tariff (optional residential time-of-day schedules exist but are not EV-specific), and the federal home charging credit that previously applied, the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit under 26 U.S.C. 30C, ended June 30, 2026 and is no longer available.

Kentucky Power lists no EV charger rebate, no EV rate and no managed-charging program. It does not publish an EV-specific time-of-use rate. Residential customers take service on the standard Residential Service (R.S.) tariff, which bills a two-block energy charge that does not vary by time of day, so charging an EV overnight costs the same per kilowatt-hour as charging it during the afternoon. The tariff also lists optional residential time-of-day schedules (R.S.-T.O.D., an experimental R.S.-T.O.D.2, and R.S.-L.M.-T.O.D. for approved energy storage devices), some of which are limited to the first customers who apply, and none of which is an EV charging product. Commercial customers can elect the Large General Service Time of Day (L.G.S.-T.O.D.) schedule, but that is a general demand rate, not an EV charging product. The general service tariffs allow separately metered EV charging on a load management time-of-day provision. An eastern Kentucky EV owner who wants lower overnight pricing should ask Kentucky Power whether one of these schedules is open.
Because Kentucky Power offers no residential or commercial EV charger rebate and no managed-charging program of its own, there is nothing to stack against the standard rate. The federal Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit (30C), the home charging incentive most Kentucky Power customers could previously use, ended June 30, 2026 and is no longer available. Note that the residential EV charger rebates and managed-charging rewards that appear in Kentucky belong to other providers, mainly LG&E and KU and several rural electric cooperatives, not to Kentucky Power. See the [Kentucky state page](/states/ky) for incentives that do exist statewide and the [Kentucky Utilities page](/utilities/kentucky-utilities) for that utility's programs.
Kentucky Power is an American Electric Power operating company serving a rural, mountainous footprint in eastern Kentucky, and AEP files programs separately in each state, so its offerings differ from sibling company Appalachian Power in Virginia and West Virginia and from the LG&E and KU utilities elsewhere in Kentucky. Any new EV rate or program would come through a Kentucky Public Service Commission filing, so the PSC tariff record is the place to confirm current terms.
