Virginia's state purchase program is not currently taking applications, so the case here is built on running costs and utility programs. Residential electricity here averages 14.9 cents per kWh, below the 18.5-cent national average, and annual registration for an EV runs about $174 against $46 for a comparable gas car.

Unfunded
Virginia legislated a clean vehicle rebate but it has not been funded, so no payments are being made. Treat any site quoting a Virginia rebate amount as describing the statute rather than money you can actually claim.
Varies by utility
Your electric utility, not the state, sets what home charging costs in Virginia. Look for an EV or time-of-use rate with a cheap overnight window first, then any charger hardware rebate — the rate is worth more over three years than the one-off.
Every figure above comes from a primary source. Programs open and close with state budgets, so confirm before you count an incentive into your budget.
Rebates change the purchase price once. Your Virginia electricity rate, gas price and annual registration fee change what you pay every year. Run the numbers with Virginia selected to see the three-year picture.
