Electric utilities play an important role in transportation electrification in Virginia and the nation as a whole. Virginia has two state-regulated electric companies and 13 rural electric cooperatives. As EVs become more available in the marketplace, utilities have a unique opportunity to lead in issues such as charging times, incentives, rebates, and educational campaigns.
