Mount Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park hosts the most-used EV charger in Dominion Energy’s Southeast network, drawing heavy traffic just six months after opening. This surge aligns with South Carolina’s rapid EV adoption and holiday travel peaks.​
Charger Details
The park features 12 stations installed at no cost to the town through Dominion Energy’s turnkey program, making Mount Pleasant the first government partner at this scale. Charging costs 20 cents per kWh via the Tesla app, funding maintenance and expansions like 12 more at Park West.​
EV Growth in SC
South Carolina registered nearly 20,900 EVs in 2023, up from 800 in 2016, with Mount Pleasant leading Charleston County. Statewide, over $70 million in federal NEVI funding supports infrastructure like SCDOT’s phased charger network.​
Dominion Programs
The You Shift, You Save plan offers residential customers time-of-use rates, with super off-peak hours ~40% cheaper—ideal for overnight EV home charging. EV drivers top up opportunistically at parks while enjoying amenities, unlike gas stops.​
