VCC Launches Adopt-A-Charger Program



We know that transportation is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Richmond, and the largest contributor in the state of Virginia. That is why Virginia Clean Cities (VCC) is launching the Adopt-A-Charger Program, deploying electric vehicle charging stations across the state. This program will help develop sustainable transportation infrastructure and transition Virginia’s energy economy to renewable electricity.


You can support clean transportation and protect our environment for future generations.

The Adopt-A-Charger Program will crowdfund financial support for public level 2 charger stations. Tax-deductible gifts of $1, $5, $10 or $20 per month will be used to purchase EV chargers that will be donated to high-impact public locations. Once a sufficient amount of funds ($500) has been donated, VCC will purchase the equipment. VCC will then donate the equipment, publicize these awards and invite donors to ribbon cuttings.

Last year, donations allowed VCC to displace nearly 32 million gallons of petroleum and prevent nearly 151,000 tons of greenhouse gases from being discharged into the atmosphere. This program both reduces Virginia’s environmental impact and supports Richmond’s RVAgreen 2050 goal of reducing GHG emissions by 80% by 2050.
