Last updated 2026-10-14: First published — WebFetch-verified directly against entergyetech.com's own incentive table, cross-checked against third-party rebate trackers (EnergySage, AmpUp, Leviton, EnergyBot) for the Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas detail.
Most multi-state utilities in this series run genuinely different rebate amounts from state to state — Rocky Mountain Power and Pacific Power, both owned by PacifiCorp, pay nothing alike. Entergy is the opposite case. It’s one of the few electric utilities covering four states (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas) that funds exactly one incentive program, eTech, with exactly one residential charger rebate amount, regardless of which of those four states your meter sits in. The exception that proves the rule is Entergy New Orleans — a separate corporate subsidiary from the rest of Entergy Louisiana — which isn’t on the unified eTech rate at all.
$250 per port, flat, across Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas
| Entergy entity | Residential Level 2 rebate | Commercial DC fast charger |
|---|---|---|
| Entergy Arkansas | $250 per port | $750 (under 50 kW) / $1,500 (over 50 kW) |
| Entergy Louisiana (outside New Orleans) | $250 per port | $750 / $1,500 |
| Entergy Mississippi | $250 per port | $750 / $1,500 |
| Entergy Texas | $250 per port | $750 / $1,500 |
| Entergy New Orleans | No listed amount — separate Energy Smart marketplace discount only | $2,500-$12,500 per port, tiered by size |
The $250 figure covers an ENERGY STAR-certified Level 2 charger’s material cost, and according to entergyetech.com, residential customers in all four states can claim it for up to two chargers if they own two EVs or are installing at two separate locations. There’s no income test and no rate-plan enrollment requirement tied to the hardware rebate itself — it’s a straightforward reimbursement, not a bill credit you have to stay enrolled in to keep.
Entergy New Orleans is a different program entirely
This is the detail that trips up Louisiana shoppers specifically. Entergy New Orleans is a distinct corporate subsidiary from the Entergy Louisiana entity that serves the rest of the state, and entergyetech.com’s own incentive page reflects that split: the New Orleans section lists no residential rebate dollar amount, just a link to a separate Smart Charging program. Third-party rebate trackers describe that program as a $50-$100 discount on ENERGY STAR-certified chargers through an online marketplace — a real incentive, but nowhere near the $250 eTech figure, and structured as a point-of-sale discount rather than a reimbursement you apply for after buying.
New Orleans does lead the other direction on the commercial side: its Level 2 commercial rate ($1,000-$2,500 per port) and DC fast charger tiers ($2,500-$12,500 per port, scaled by size) run well above the $750/$1,500 commercial rates everywhere else in Entergy’s territory. If you’re electrifying a small fleet or installing public charging in New Orleans specifically, that’s worth checking directly rather than assuming the flat multi-state commercial rate applies.
ChargePoint Home Flex
- ENERGY STAR-certified, which is the baseline requirement for Entergy's $250 rebate in all four states.
- Adjustable 16-50A output works whether an electrician pulls a 40A, 48A, or 50A circuit — useful since panel capacity varies widely across Entergy's AR/LA/MS/TX footprint.
- See our full ChargePoint Home Flex review for the six SKU variants.
Installing chargers across more than one Entergy property, or for a small rental portfolio? A free Amazon Business account unlocks quantity discounts and tax-exempt purchasing — worth setting up before ordering multiple units, since the $250-per-port rebate caps at two chargers per household anyway.
Don’t confuse Entergy Mississippi with Mississippi Power
Mississippi has two large electric utilities with similarly named EV charger incentives, and it’s an easy mix-up. Entergy Mississippi serves the western part of the state, including Jackson, and runs the $250 eTech rebate described above. Mississippi Power is a completely separate company serving the southeastern part of the state, and its own incentive is structured differently — bundled together with a separate EV-purchase rebate rather than standing alone as a charger-only program. Check which name is actually on your electric bill before assuming either program’s terms apply to you.
How to actually claim it
- Buy an ENERGY STAR-certified Level 2 charger. Entergy’s eTech table doesn’t restrict the rebate to a specific brand list the way Puget Sound Energy or Austin Energy do — any certified unit qualifies.
- Confirm which Entergy entity is on your bill. Entergy Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas all get the flat $250. Entergy New Orleans does not — check its separate Energy Smart marketplace program instead.
- Apply through entergyetech.com with proof of purchase for the Level 2 charger.
- Claim a second rebate if eligible — up to two chargers per household if you own two EVs or are installing at two separate locations.
The bottom line
Entergy is one of the simpler utilities to shop around in this series precisely because it doesn’t play state-by-state games with its own rebate — $250 per port is $250 per port whether you’re in Little Rock, Shreveport, Jackson, or Beaumont. The only customers who need to read the fine print are the ones billed by Entergy New Orleans, which runs its own smaller, differently-structured program, and anyone in Mississippi who might mix up Entergy with the unrelated Mississippi Power.
