BIRMINGHAM, Ala., March 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Alabama Power offers two incentives for residential customers who own or are considering purchasing an electric vehicle to save money when they charge their vehicle at home.

"As technology advances and the needs of our customers evolve, we are focused on providing new ways to assist them."
