Electric Vehicle Charging Fees To Be Added At Falls Church City Hall

FALLS CHURCH, VA — Electric vehicle drivers will be faced with a new fee for charging vehicles at Falls Church City Hall starting in February.

As of Feb. 1, electric vehicle charger use at City Hall will come at a cost, but the first hour will be offered for free. Beyond the one hour, 20 cents per kilowatt hour will be charged.

The city said in a social media post the new fees encourage turnover to allow other vehicles to use chargers to charging a move vehicle fee — $3 per hour 15 minutes after the vehicle is fully charged.

Four charging stations are located in front of City Hall, and another four are behind City Hall in the Community Center parking lot. Drivers can access the electric vehicle chargers using the SemaConnect app on a smartphone.
