Virginia's EV rebate law was never funded and expires Jan 1, 2027. Dominion's $40/yr managed-charging reward is closed to new sign-ups. EV road fee: $135.63/yr.
The $7,500 federal new-EV credit and $4,000 used-EV credit ended September 30, 2025, and the federal home-charger credit (30C) followed on June 30, 2026. If anyone tells you otherwise, they're reading an old script. (Charger installed on or before June 30, 2026? That one's still claimable on that year's return. IRS Form 8911.)
The statute (up to $2,500 + $2,000 income adder) was enacted but the legislature never appropriated money. It expires 1/1/2027. It is not real money; treat any site listing it as stale.
EV Charger Rewards (managed charging on a qualifying Wi-Fi Level 2 charger: $40 a year after each enrollment anniversary, plus a $125 rebate on a newly bought charger if you apply within 60 days): the program page now says enrollment is closed, with an interest form to be told when it reopens. Not combinable with a time-of-use rate such as the Off-Peak Plan. Separately, Dominion installs and maintains a Level 2 charger for $40.27/month over 5 years ($1,835.96 upfront); the free income-qualified version is fully subscribed.
The catch: Virginia charges EV owners an extra $135.63/yr at registration. See every state's EV fee, ranked.
The highway use fee adjusts every July ($135.63 for July 2026 to June 2027), or enroll in "Mileage Choice" to pay per-mile instead, which saves low-mileage drivers money (you never pay more than the annual fee).
