Bill > S06579

This bill requires gasoline stations over 1,500 square feet to install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations when they are installing new motor fuel pumps. Specifically, the bill defines key terms such as "gasoline station" (a premises with operational gas pumps for public retail sale), "dealer" (the person owning or operating such a station), and "electric vehicle charging station" (a level two dual charging station capable of simultaneously charging two electric vehicles with at least 6kW power and non-proprietary chargers compatible with multiple auto manufacturers). The legislation mandates that any dealer installing new gas pumps must also install at least one EV charging station, and prohibits building permits from being issued unless documentation shows an EV charging station will be installed. The requirement aims to expand EV charging infrastructure by linking new gas pump installations with mandatory charging station deployment, effectively encouraging the transition to electric vehicles by making charging more accessible at existing fuel retail locations.
