The Wall Street Journal said today that Atlanta has become the number 2 major U.S. metropolitan city for electric cars due to a number of incentives including state-provided tax credits, access to charging stations and access to high occupancy lanes even when traveling alone.
Charging electric car owners a lower rate for off-peak electricity Georgia Power Co., the primary utility in Atlanta, offers a plug-in charging, off-peak rate of 1.3 cents per kilowatt-hour. The average cost across the nation is 11.88 cents a kilowatt-hour, says the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
