Georgia Power is studying the impact of electric transportation on grid reliability, including vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid technologies. Georgia Power is also helping to develop industry standards for this year's multi-vehicle rollout. More about the grid.

Learning the options.
Electric vehicles come in many forms. All have batteries and need to be plugged in to recharge. You'll need to consider the battery electric vehicle, or BEV, which is a total electric vehicle, the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, or PHEV, and the extended-range electric vehicle, or EREV. More about cars and the batteries that power them.

Plug-in electric vehicles get you where you need to go while saving money on fuel and maintenance, reducing your environmental impact and contributing to our nation's energy independence.

If you are an electric vehicle dealer, learn more about partnerships.
