Home EV Charging in Atlanta: What to Know
In Atlanta, electricity runs about $0.107/kWh and gas about $3.10/gallon. For a typical driver covering 12,000 miles a year, that means charging an EV at home costs roughly $367 a year versus $1,329 in gasoline — a saving of about $962 annually.
A Level 2 charger installs for around $1,500 (about $1,250 after the local utility rebate of up to $250), paying for itself in roughly 1.3 years of fuel savings — around $16,637 over 15 years. Home charging also beats public charging by about $1,005/year. Note: the federal 30C charger tax credit expired June 30, 2026, so Georgia utility programs are now the main incentive. The local utility is Georgia Power.
