Bill > HB883

This bill updates Georgia's regulations for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, focusing on measurement standards, registration requirements, and taxation. Starting January 1, 2026, all EV charging stations that charge users for electricity must accurately measure and prominently display the amount of electricity delivered in kilowatt-hours, either directly on the station or through a digital network. The bill introduces a tiered registration system with annual fees: $250 for commercial charging stations and $50 for non-commercial stations delivering alternating current electricity at no cost. The legislation also empowers state inspectors to examine charging stations for accuracy and safety, with the ability to seek court injunctions against providers with inaccurate or unsafe stations. Additionally, the bill provides a tax exemption for certain electric vehicle charging stations that deliver electricity by alternating current and do not charge users, specifically those in operation before January 1, 2026. The comprehensive approach aims to ensure consumer protection, standardize EV charging infrastructure, and create a regulatory framework for the growing electric vehicle market in Georgia.
