Is the macbook charger covered under applecare?
The outer plastic has been worked away from the base of my charger, and wires are exposed. This is just from normal wear and tear. I'm wondering if this is something that can be replaced under applecare for free or a reduced rate. I couldn't find a definitive answer online and was wondering if anyone knew before I bought one.

Yes, the charger cable can be replaced for free if you still have Applecare. I have had this done twice.
great news. Thanks!
make sure you bring the machine it would go with though, they need to check it in/enter the serial numbers right off it/etc.
yes they were a little annoyed with me when I just brought the charger in.
This is good to know mines starting to fray and I think I might take it in soon
Don't be surprised if you have to push a little, as they will sometimes try to say that it isn't due to normal wear and tear.
