A Smart Transportation Choice

Electric Vehicles (EVs) Cost Less to Operate than Gas Powered Cars

Depending on your local gasoline and electric rates, EV operation can be 3 to 5 times cheaper than gasoline and diesel-powered cars. All-electric models do not use oil; thus they do not need oil changes!

Never Go to the Gas Station Again

EVs do not require gasoline and can be charged at home with a standard 120V outlet or a 240V level 2 charger can be installed for faster charging.

EVs are Environmentally Friendly

EVs have no tailpipe emissions. While the power plant producing your electricity may produce emissions, electricity from hydroelectric, solar, nuclear, or wind-powered plants is generally emission-free.

EV Driving Range & Recharge Time

EV driving range varies from around 80 to over 330 miles on a full charge, depending on the model. The average American's daily round-trip commute is less than 30 miles. Fully recharging the battery pack can take 4 to 8 hour, while a “fast charge” to 80% capacity can take as little as 30 minutes.

Charging at Home

Charging your electric vehicle at home is inexpensive and convenient. All EVs come with a charging cord that can plug into a standard outlet in your garage or driveway. If you would like to install a Level 2 charger, refer to the Handbook for Residential EV Charging.

If you live in an apartment or condominium, our multi-family charging guide provides solutions for installing charging stations.

The cost of charging your EV depends on how much you drive. For customers who drive less than 40 miles a day, it costs about $1 a day to charge your EV at home. Your electric bill will likely go up, but your monthly gasoline expenses should drop considerably more.

Yes. The Off-Peak Plan can help customers save money by shifting energy usage, including EV charging, to more affordable, off-peak hours.

The electric grid can certainly support the number of EVs on the road today. As adoption increases, Dominion Energy is investing in technology, tools, and programs to encourage smart charging behavior, such as charging during off-peak times.

We're also strengthening and modernizing our grid for the future. We know that access to reliable, clean, competitively priced energy is more important than ever to our customers, including those who rely on electricity to power their EVs.

Electric Vehicle Pricing Plans Pilot Program (Closed)

We launched the Electric Vehicle Pricing Plans Pilot Program to study the impacts of EV charging on the grid. The pilot program began in 2011 and ended November 30, 2018. Enrollment is now closed but current participants may remain on the pricing plans. We will use the results of the pilot to evaluate future EV-related offerings for customers.
