EV incentives in Virginia

Verified July 2026

The "Virginia EV rebate" you may see advertised was NEVER FUNDED and expires Jan 1, 2027 — reality is a small Dominion charger perk and a ~$130/yr road fee.

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.)

What VA offers on the purchase

Virginia EV rebate (never funded) suspended

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.

Dominion Energy — $125 + $40/yr

$125 Level 2 charger rebate + $40/yr for demand-response enrollment.

The catch: Virginia charges EV owners an extra ~$132/yr at registration.

The highway use fee adjusts every July (~$132 for 2026) — or enroll in "Mileage Choice" to pay per-mile instead, which saves low-mileage drivers money.
