VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Electric vehicle (EV) drivers are the focus of a new plan by the Virginia Beach City Council. 

City Council unanimously approved the new Virginia Beach Electric Vehicle Community Charging Plan at a meeting on Tuesday. 

The plan will serve as a roadmap to accommodate city needs as it transitions from conventionally fueled cars to EVs. 

At the end of March, Virginia Beach Public Works presented the results of a nine-month-long EV and charging infrastructure study. The results prompted the new plan. 

The consultant Cadmus worked with the Virginia Beach Public Schools Environmental Studiesprogram and Virginia Clean Cities to conduct the research backing the plan, according to the city.
