An electric car sits while charging along a street during the 2010s. In 2021, the electric vehicle market expanded substantially in Georgia.
Georgia Power is offering a boost to electric vehicle charging.
According to the Atlanta Business Chronicle , the utility will install public chargers at 50 locations around the state. It will also offer a $250 incentive to consumers who want to install charging stations at home.
Atlanta is the number two market in the U.S. for electric vehicle sales. That's thanks, in part, to a $5,000 state tax credit.
Lawmakers are considering phasing out that credit and adding a $200 annual fee for owners of electric cars to help pay for transportation upgrades.
