RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 19,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Dominion Energy Virginia today
announced the launch of the Residential Charger Program, a new
turnkey solution for customers interested in a Level 2 home
charging system for their electric vehicle (EV).
The program reduces upfront costs by allowing participating
customers to pay for charging equipment and installation over time
on their monthly bills. It also reduces barriers to installation by
offering turnkey implementation services from certified and
licensed electricians. Income-qualifying customers can receive a
charging system and installation at no cost.
"This program eliminates a significant barrier to EV ownership
by simplifying the process to purchase and install a home charger,"
said Nathan Frost, General Manager
of New Business & Customer Solutions for Dominion Energy. "We
are excited to help empower our customers to reduce their fuel
costs and their emissions at the same time."
Dominion Energy Virginia's Residential Charger Program can be
accessed at
www.dominionenergy.com/virginia/save-energy/electric-vehicles/residential-charger-program.
After completing a pre-qualification form, customers are connected
to an advisor who collects more details on the home's
specifications and the customer's charging needs to determine
program eligibility. Qualified customers then receive a detailed
proposal from a certified electrician. Once accepted, an
installation date is set, with the final package receiving ongoing
support from Dominion Energy Virginia and backed by a five-year
warranty.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, there are currently
nearly 80,000 EVs on the road in Virginia. That number is growing
rapidly. Dominion Energy has many resources in place to
support EV drivers including interactive tools and calculators,
incentives for off-peak charging, EV charger rewards and more. For

easier and more affordable, visit www.dominionenergy.com/EV.
