Do Virginia time-of-use peak hours apply on weekends?
On the residential TOU plans we track in Virginia, on-peak hours apply on weekdays only — weekends are off-peak across all 7 plans. Many tariffs also treat observed holidays as off-peak; the Days column in each schedule above shows the exact rule.

Do Virginia time-of-use hours change by season?
Some do. Of the 7 residential TOU plans we track in Virginia, 6 shift their period boundaries between seasons (typically summer and winter), while 1 keep the same hours year-round. Each schedule above lists its exact season dates.
-
When is the cheapest time to charge an EV in Virginia?
tou.tools tracks 3 EV-specific rate plans in Virginia (R-1-EV, VA-LFEVC, and VA-PEV). On EV time-of-use plans the lowest-cost window is generally the overnight super-off-peak or off-peak period; charging then avoids the on-peak window. See the EV plan schedules for the exact hours.
-
How do I find which Virginia utility serves a specific address or ZIP code?
tou.tools maps 1,691 Virginia ZIP codes to the utilities that serve them. Because service territories can overlap, a ZIP may return more than one candidate utility; supplying a full street address resolves it to a single utility via a geocoded point-in-territory lookup. The REST API and MCP server both return the matching utility and its current TOU period.
