Bill > H3347

This bill aims to promote the adoption of zero-emission vehicles in Massachusetts. It requires distribution companies to submit proposals for time-of-use rates to encourage electric vehicle (EV) charging during off-peak hours, and establishes a grant program to provide rebates to consumers for the purchase or lease of zero-emission vehicles. Additionally, the bill directs the Department of Energy Resources to publish a guide for cities and towns to develop programs allowing residents to install curbside EV charging stations, and requires the Department of Energy Resources and Department of Transportation to identify high-priority locations for public EV charging station installation. The bill also mandates the inclusion of EV-ready parking spaces in new commercial and residential building construction, as well as major renovations, and requires the state building code to be updated accordingly.
