Bill > A07633

This bill directs the New York State Department of Public Service to establish comprehensive fee transparency rules for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations by June 1, 2026. The proposed regulations would require charging stations that have received state funding or ratepayer-supported grants to clearly post their total prices at the point of sale, prohibit mandatory subscription fees for using the stations, and ensure that multiple payment methods (not just mobile devices) are accepted. The bill also defines a "significant upgrade" to EV charging stations as changes that include increasing station capacity or substantially updating the user interface or payment system. These new standards would apply to charging stations constructed or significantly upgraded after January 1, 2027. The goal of the legislation is to increase transparency, accessibility, and fairness in EV charging infrastructure by preventing hidden fees and ensuring that consumers have clear pricing information and flexible payment options when charging their electric vehicles.
