Residential Charger Program
Quick, convenient, and affordable electric vehicle (EV) charging at home
Looking for an EV charging solution for your home?
With Dominion Energy’s Residential Charger Program, installing a Level 2 EV charger is easier and more affordable than ever. Here’s what you need to know about the program:
One-Stop Shop Solution
Dominion Energy takes the stress out of installing a home EV charger by coordinating every step of the process for you. From handling the necessary electrical work to supplying an approved Level 2 charger and matching you with a licensed electrician, we ensure an easy and seamless installation. Our qualified, third-party electricians will install your Level 2 charging station, including the necessary breaker, wiring, and outlet. Plus, you’ll receive ongoing charger maintenance and a five-year warranty for your peace of mind.Convenient Monthly Payments
Installing a home EV charger can have a significant upfront cost. That’s why our program offers convenient fixed payments of $40.27 per month. These payments are applied directly to your Dominion Energy bill over five years, making it easier to manage the costs without a large initial expense.Am I Eligible to Participate?
To participate you must:
- Have an existing Virginia residential account in good standing;
- Own a free-standing single-family home;
- Select a charging location that is within 30 ft. of your main electrical panel;
- Have capacity in your electrical panel to support the required electrical upgrades (don't worry, we'll help you figure this out!); and
- Install a Dominion Energy approved charger, included as part of this program.
How to Get Started
To get started, you'll need to submit a program interest form on our website. After verifying you’re a residential customer in Virginia who owns a free-standing single-family home, you'll complete a home charging assessment with our trusted partner, Qmerit. This assessment will help determine the best charging solution for your home. You’ll then be matched with a certified electrician to develop a project plan and schedule your installation if approved.
The last step is to sit back and enjoy quick, convenient, and affordable EV charging at home!

Customer Testimonials
Dominion made it so easy to get my EV charger installed. Having one point of contact was wonderful, as their concierge service did the hard work of coordinating the installer. All of the vendors were professional, timely, and did an excellent job. I would recommend this service to anyone thinking of getting an EV charger installed at their house.
Stephanie - Richmond, VA
We chose to use Dominion's Residential Charger Program because it provided a 'one-stop-shop' for sourcing both the labor and material through a single provider. Dominion's EV Concierge service ensured that we were able to select the EV Charger we wanted, and worked with the contractor to ensure the installation was in-line with our schedule. The opportunity to pay for the charger and installation through our monthly Dominion bill is convenient, and we would recommend this program to anyone considering an EV installation.
Bryan - Annandale, VA
When I decided to get a Level 2 charger at my home, I decided to go through the Residential Charger Program that Dominion offers. Qmerit, Dominion's partner made the process easy. I took a few pictures and answered a few questions on my phone. Each step of the process was clearly communicated. They showed up on time, did a quality job, and arranged for the county inspector to come by later. When the inspector showed up, he simply said I love inspecting work this company has done...it's always a very neat, professional job. A few minutes later, he was done, and I've got Level 2 charging in my garage!

If you're a monthly payment customer and decide to move or discontinue service during the five-year program term, a termination fee will be applied to your final bill. This fee, detailed in your installation contract, will be the undepreciated remaining balance of the charging equipment at the time of your final bill.
Since you own the charger upon installation, you have the option to hire any certified electrician to remove and re-install it at your own expense. Alternatively, we can assist with the relocation through our partner, Qmerit. Please note that any removal and re-installation fees will be additional to the final termination fee and will be managed directly with your electrician or Qmerit.
Dominion Energy will provide ongoing maintenance and support, including a five-year warranty.
