Ohio Power Company (AEP Ohio)

AEP Ohio does not offer an EV charger rebate, but its Plug-In Electric Vehicle (PEV) rate makes off-peak charging cheaper: on the whole-home option the distribution charge is 1.65 cents per kWh off-peak against 4.94 cents on-peak, and a separately metered option drops to 1.04 cents per kWh from midnight to 4 a.m. (AEP Ohio PEV rate page, checked October 16, 2026). Those prices cover the distribution line of the bill only; transmission and generation charges still apply. Off-peak is 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. from November through April, and 11 p.m. to 1 p.m. from May through October. The whole-home option adds a $13.50 monthly customer fee. You need a smart meter and a plug-in vehicle charged at home.

Ohio-wide policy is on the [Ohio state page](/states/oh).

AEP Ohio does not currently run a residential or commercial EVSE purchase rebate, so there is no rebate to stack with the PEV rate. The PEV rate itself comes in two forms: a whole-home version that applies the off-peak discount to all household usage, and a separately metered version that requires a second meter dedicated to the vehicle. AEP Ohio's own EV page lists no charger rebate and says only that it is looking at programs it may offer in the future, and the Alternative Fuels Data Center likewise lists no AEP Ohio charger incentives (both checked November 5, 2026).

Ohio is a deregulated electricity market, which changes how these programs work in practice. AEP Ohio handles delivery and the wires, but customers buy generation from a competitive retail supplier or through the utility's standard service offer. The PEV rate only affects the distribution component of the bill, so the headline overnight savings apply to delivery charges; the generation price an EV owner pays still depends on their chosen supplier contract.
