The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) provides unique opportunities in searching for new physics through its high center of mass energy and coherent interactions of large nuclei. We examine how light weakly interacting vector bosons from a variety of models can be discovered or constrained, over significant parts of their parameter space, through clean displaced vertex signals at the EIC. Our results indicate that the searches we propose favorably compare with or surpass existing experimental projections for the models examined. The reach for the new physics that we consider can be markedly improved if "far backward" particle identification capabilities are included in the EIC detector complex.
