AI Summary

This bill aims to promote the adoption of zero-emission vehicles in Massachusetts. The key provisions include: 1. Requiring distribution companies to submit proposals to the Department of Public Utilities for approval to offer time-of-use rates for electric vehicle (EV) charging, which would encourage energy conservation, efficient use of the grid, and greenhouse gas emissions reductions. 2. Extending the Massachusetts Offers Rebates for Electric Vehicles (MOR-EV) program beyond 2023, with a focus on providing equitable access and affordability for low-income and environmental justice populations. 3. Directing the Department of Energy Resources to publish a guide to assist cities and towns in developing programs to allow residents to install curbside EV charging stations. 4. Requiring the Department of Energy Resources and Department of Transportation to identify high-priority locations for public EV charging station installation. 5. Mandating the Registry of Motor Vehicles to issue distinctive license plates for plug-in electric vehicles at no additional cost. 6.
