Dominion Energy Virginia pays residential customers a $125 enrollment rebate when they install a qualifying Level 2 smart charger and register within 120 days of purchase. After your first year in the program you receive $40 every year on your enrollment anniversary. Here is exactly how to qualify, which chargers are eligible, and how to apply.
Dominion Energy Virginia is one of the largest electric utilities on the East Coast, serving more than 2.5 million residential customers across Virginia. The company operates the EV Charger Rewards program as part of its broader commitment to expanding electric vehicle adoption in Virginia and meeting the state's clean energy goals.
The program works as a demand response agreement. In exchange for allowing Dominion to remotely adjust your EV charger's charging schedule during peak demand periods, you receive financial rewards. Dominion can adjust your charging up to 15 times per month with each adjustment lasting no more than four hours and no more than 45 total adjustments per year. For most EV owners who charge overnight, these occasional adjustments have minimal practical impact on daily driving.
The financial benefit has two components. The first is a one-time $125 enrollment rebate paid when you register a qualifying charger within 120 days of purchase. The second is a $40 annual gift card or bill credit paid on your enrollment anniversary every year for as long as you remain in the program. Over five years of participation the program pays you $285 total, making it a straightforward ongoing financial benefit for any Virginia EV owner with a qualifying charger.

The Dominion Energy EV Charger Rewards program is available to a specific subset of Virginia customers. The key eligibility requirements are straightforward but important to confirm before purchasing your charger and scheduling installation.
You must be a current Dominion Energy Virginia residential customer. The program is for Virginia customers only. Dominion also serves parts of North Carolina but the EV Charger Rewards program terms should be confirmed for non-Virginia service areas before applying.
You must live in a single-family residence. The program is open to customers in single-family homes. Multi-family buildings, condos, and apartments are not eligible for the residential EV Charger Rewards program, though Dominion offers separate commercial and multi-family EV programs for those situations.
Your account must be on the standard rate structure. Customers already enrolled in Dominion's Off-Peak Plan or another time-of-use rate are not eligible for EV Charger Rewards. If you are on a TOU rate and want to participate in EV Charger Rewards, you would need to switch back to the standard rate first.
Your charger must be on Dominion's eligible charger list. Not every Level 2 charger qualifies. The charger must be WiFi-capable and on Dominion's approved device list. Dominion's website maintains a current list of eligible chargers. The application requires the specific charger model name and your paid receipt.
Dominion maintains a list of eligible Level 2 smart chargers on its website. The charger must be WiFi or network-enabled to allow demand response communication. Here are the most popular qualifying models as of 2026.
| Charger Brand and Model | Amperage | Approximate Cost |
|---|---|---|
| ChargePoint Home Flex | 50A | $499 to $549 |
| JuiceBox 40 | 40A | $499 to $549 |
| JuiceBox 48 | 48A | $549 to $599 |
| Emporia Smart EV Charger | 48A | $349 to $399 |
| Tesla Wall Connector (Gen 3 and later) | 48A | $475 |
| Wallbox Pulsar Plus | 48A | $599 to $649 |
Always confirm the specific model you are considering against Dominion's current eligible charger list before purchasing, as the list is updated periodically. Your installer should be familiar with which models currently qualify and can advise you before you buy.
Buy a WiFi-capable Level 2 charger from Dominion's eligible charger list. Keep your purchase receipt with the model name, purchase date, and amount clearly visible. The receipt is required for the application.
A licensed electrician installs the charger on a dedicated 240-volt circuit with a permit. Any licensed Virginia electrician can do this, unlike some utility programs that require an approved installer. Keep your installation documentation and permit copy.
This is the most important deadline. You apply at dominionenergy.com/ev-charger-rewards. You will need your Dominion account number, the charger model name, and your paid receipt. Applications submitted after 120 days from the purchase date are not accepted.
Dominion processes enrollment rebates in 4 to 8 weeks after your application is accepted. The $125 rebate is paid as a bill credit, gift card, or check depending on your preference. Your first $40 annual reward is paid on the one-year anniversary of your enrollment date.
Many Virginia homeowners miss the Dominion rebate because they wait too long to apply after installation. The 120-day clock starts from the charger purchase date, not the installation date. If you buy your charger in advance and install it six months later, you may have already missed the window. Buy and install close together, then apply immediately after installation to maximize your chances of submitting within 120 days.
The Dominion EV Charger Rewards program can be combined with other incentives to further reduce the net cost of your installation.
Federal tax credit. The Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit covers 30 percent of your total installation cost including hardware and labor up to $1,000. Claimed on IRS Form 8911, this credit applies to installations completed through June 30, 2026. The Dominion $125 rebate and the federal credit can generally be combined, meaning a Virginia homeowner with a $1,500 installation pays $125 less due to the Dominion rebate and then claims 30 percent of the remaining cost as a federal tax credit.
Dominion Residential Charger Program. Dominion also offers a separate Residential Charger Program where the utility coordinates the entire installation for a flat monthly payment. This is an alternative to the EV Charger Rewards program, not something that can be stacked with it. Customers who use the Residential Charger Program do not separately enroll in EV Charger Rewards. See our Richmond and Virginia Beach pages for more detail on how the Residential Charger Program works in specific markets.
Dominion Energy Virginia serves a large portion of the state including the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington DC, Richmond, Hampton Roads including Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and Chesapeake, and most of the eastern and central portions of the state.
