Virginia SCCThe State Corporation Commission invites comment from the public on issues related to the increased deployment of electric motor vehicles that potentially could affect the affordability and reliability of electricity services delivered to consumers by regulated utilities.

The purpose is to gather information to inform future proceedings on the growing issue of vehicle electrification.

The commission invites the public to comment on one or more of the following issues related to the increased deployment of electric vehicles:

  • Existing development and projected growth of electric vehicles,
  • Rate design issues,
  • Storage-specific issues, and
  • Issues related to public charging stations.
