AI Summary

This bill would establish a Statewide public plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging system. It directs a working group to develop a plan for installing at least 600 public direct current fast chargers (DCFC) and 300 Level 2 public community chargers in the state by the end of 2020. The bill also requires the New Jersey Turnpike Authority and South Jersey Transportation Authority to install DCFC and Level 2 charging stations at their service areas. Additionally, it directs the Board of Public Utilities to establish an "Essential Public Charging Network" that provides a critical mass of reliable, accessible, and convenient public charging infrastructure to address range anxiety and support early PEV market development. The bill allows public utilities to submit proposals for constructing and operating this network, which the Board must review and approve.
