Virginia Electric and Power Company

Virginia Electric & Power Company, operating as Dominion Energy Virginia (and Dominion Energy North Carolina in its NC footprint), serves about 2.78 million customers across Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. The utility offers a voluntary three-tier residential time-of-use rate called the Off-Peak Plan, a financed Residential Charger Program for home Level 2 chargers, and a 50 percent make-ready Level 2 Charging Program for commercial and multifamily sites, with no-cost coverage available in Environmental Justice Communities through a separate program. The former EV Charger Rewards cash incentive is no longer offered.

Residential EVSE rebates

EV Charger Rewards enrollment rebate

No longer offered (confirmed as of 2026-09-01)

Dominion Energy Virginia's EV Charger Rewards enrollment page no longer resolves, and the program is absent from the utility's current EV program list (Residential Charger Program, Off-Peak Plan, Charging on the Go, Fleet Electrification, EV Charging Access Program, Level 2 Charging Program). Home charger installation is now supported instead through the Residential Charger Program, a financed plan (fixed monthly payment or one-time payment covering the charger and installation, no cash rebate); its income-qualifying no-cost option is currently fully subscribed. The Off-Peak Plan's own FAQ still names "EV Charging Rewards" as a program that cannot be combined with the Off-Peak Plan, but no live enrollment page or incentive amount for it could be found.

Managed-charging programs

EV Charger Rewards

No longer offered under this name (confirmed as of September 1, 2026). Dominion Energy Virginia's EV hub no longer lists an EV Charger Rewards program among its current EV offerings, and the former enrollment page no longer resolves. The only live EV-specific demand-response option found is the Electric Vehicle Telematics pilot (with WeaveGrid), open only to Tesla owners with home Level 1 or Level 2 charging, which automatically reschedules charging around peak events; that pilot is closed to new enrollment as of September 2026 (waitlist only).

The Telematics pilot pays a $40 annual gift card to enrolled participants; there is no enrollment incentive, and the pilot is full and not accepting new signups.

Dominion Energy Virginia's EV-friendly residential rate is the Off-Peak Plan, a voluntary time-of-use option for customers with a smart meter. On-peak windows are narrow: 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays from May through September, and 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. plus 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays from October through April. Weekends and holidays have no peak hours. The super off-peak window runs every night from midnight to 5 a.m., which makes overnight charging the lowest-cost option if you set your car or charger to start after midnight. Current cents-per-kWh values sit in Dominion's Schedule 1G tariff filing with the Virginia State Corporation Commission.

Dominion's former residential rebate and managed-charging bundle, EV Charger Rewards, is no longer offered. Home charger installation is now supported through the Residential Charger Program, a financing plan that spreads the cost of an approved Level 2 charger and installation over five years rather than paying a cash rebate; an income-qualifying no-cost option exists but is currently fully subscribed. For commercial and multifamily sites the calculation is different: the Level 2 Charging Program and the Fleet Charging Program both cover half the make-ready cost upfront, and customers repay the remainder on their monthly bill over 10 years.

Virginia is a regulated, integrated-utility market, so Dominion Energy Virginia sets both rates and programs subject to State Corporation Commission approval. The North Carolina footprint, served as Dominion Energy North Carolina, is small (the northeastern counties) and does not currently get a separate utility EV rebate. The federal 30C tax credit for charging equipment ended June 30, 2026, and Dominion's former EV Charger Rewards cash incentive is no longer offered, so neither Virginia nor North Carolina residential customers should expect either one for a home charger purchase right now. Full no-cost make-ready coverage for Environmental Justice Communities exists under the EV Charging Access Program, but its most recent application window closed April 30, 2026 and the program page does not list a new one.
