Hybrid electric vehicles HEVs , plug-in hybrid electric vehicles PHEVs , and all-electric vehicles EVs —also called electric drive vehicles collectively—use electricity either as their primary fuel or to improve the efficiency of conventional vehicle designs. Hybrid electric vehicles HEVs are powered by an internal combustion engine or other propulsion source that can be run on conventional or alternative fuel and an electric motor that uses energy stored in a battery.
HEVs combine the benefits of high fuel economy and low emissions with the power and range of conventional vehicles. A wide variety of hybrid electric vehicles are currently available Although HEVs are often more expensive than similar conventional vehicles, some cost may be recovered through state incentives.
All-electric vehicles EVs use a battery to store the electrical energy that powers the motor. EVs are sometimes referred to as battery electric vehicles BEVs. EV batteries are charged by plugging the vehicle into an electric power source. Although most U.

Net metering is a billing mechanism that credits consumers who generate their own electricity. These consumers are billed for their net energy use. This is a financial incentive but does not fall under a grant or tax incentive. Virginia's current net metering law covers residential systems up to 10 kW and commercial systems up to kW.
Eligible technologies include solar, wind and hydropower systems intended primarily to offset part or all of a customer's requirements for electricity. Enrollment is open on a first-come, first-serve basis until the rated generating capacity owned and operated by customer-generators in the state reaches one percent of each electric distribution company's peak load for the previous year.
