Electric vehicle charging infrastructure installed at businesses and other non-residential locations in the Commonwealth of Virginia offers a crucial service to both employees and customers. This infrastructure can range from Level 1 and Level 2 charging stations suitable for longer durations, like the workday, to DC fast chargers that provide a rapid boost of power for drivers on the go. For example, a shopping center might install Level 2 chargers while a highway rest stop might prioritize DC fast charging.
Providing charging access attracts customers, enhances property values, and supports the growing number of electric vehicle drivers in Virginia. Historically, limited charging availability has been a barrier to EV adoption. By addressing this need, commercial properties contribute to a cleaner transportation landscape and position themselves for the future of mobility. This forward-thinking approach can also qualify businesses for various state and federal incentives, further enhancing the economic benefits.
