The Environmental Justice Community (EJC) Program aims to promote equitable access to electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure within Environmental Justice Communities by providing no-cost EV charging infrastructure installation and maintenance for fleet, commercial and multi-family charging.

Let's break down the EV charging infrastructure components eligible for coverage under the EJC EV Charging Program:

Utility Infrastructure:

• Credits for standard new utility construction or upgrades such as the installation of transformers and distribution equipment

Electric Vehicle Supply Infrastructure ( EVSI or “Make-Ready”):

• Conduit: Used for routing electrical cables. They provide a protective pathway for the wires, ensuring safe and organized cable management.
• Cable: Used for transmitting electricity from the panel to the charging unit. They connect the power source to the charger, allowing efficient energy transfer.
• Panel: The panel, also known as an electrical distribution board, serves as a central hub for distributing electricity within a building or facility. It receives power from the main supply and distributes it to those connected to charging stations.
• Trenching: Trenching involves excavating the ground to create a pathway for conduit and cable placement. It allows for the installation of cables underground, ensuring they are protected and out of sight.
• Engineering Plans - Engineering plans are detailed drawings and documents that outline the design, specifications, and layout of a construction project
• Electrical Permits - Permits are official authorizations granted by local or state authorities

Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (Chargers):

• Level 2 Chargers – typically deliver 20 to 60 miles of range per hour of charging. This type of charging is ideal for places where drivers will spend an hour or more such as shopping centers, parking areas, workplaces, and multifamily communities like apartments and condos.
• Direct Current Fast Chargers (DCFC) (Fleet Customers only) - DCFC is a Very high-powered charging systems that can charge EV batteries up to 80% in less than 30 minutes. DCFC is typically found along interstates and highways and makes it easy to take your EV on road trips.

• While the EJC program provides an allowance for utility infrastructure extensions and upgrades, costs may be incurred in some cases if upgrades or extensions are required. Any costs will be discussed with the customer.
• The customer will be responsible for all related electricity usage costs.
• While the program primarily covers the components listed as eligible for coverage under the EJC Program, Dominion Energy retains discretion. If there are additional infrastructure needs beyond the listed components, they will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
• The customer may be responsible for any applicable transaction fees administered by the charging service provider.

Under the Dominion Energy EJC Program, DCFC Chargers are not available for workplace, public, or multifamily customers. Only fleet customers may request the installation of DCFC charging stations.

Customers will select from Dominion Energy’s list of charging station options, which currently includes ChargePoint and Enel X.

Customers are not allowed to bring their own chargers as part of the EJC Program.

If your application is not selected during this current period, it will be reconsidered for future application periods. In such a case, a Dominion Energy representative will reach out to reconfirm your continued interest and update your application information.

Yes, you can set access controls to the chargers through the EJC Program. Setting access controls with your charging service provider allows you to manage who can use the charging stations, ensuring efficient and secure access for authorized users.

Yes, you can set usage fees and collect revenue from the use of the chargers. Please note that Dominion Energy does not manage end user billing for EV chargers under the EJC Program. All billing and other transaction fees associated with charging are managed directly with the charging service provider (ChargePoint or Enel X) and may result in additional costs to the customer.
