EV Policies:

The Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) adopted electric vehicle (EV) policies in 2018 and 2019 that encourage utilities to develop rates and pilot programs to promote EV development. IOUs are encouraged but not mandated to submit Transportation Electrification or EV Infrastructure plans to the ACC. ACC also encourages rate design that supports charging during off-peak hours. (2019 EV Implementation Plan).  

Arizona provides HOV lane exemptions for EVs and other alternative fuel vehicles. Prior to 2022, EVs in Arizona paid a reduced Vehicle License Tax (VLT). The EV VLT was repealed in 2022 (SB 1148).
