Bill > HB2013

This bill amends the Board of Vehicles Act to modify restrictions on vehicle manufacturer and distributor ownership of electric vehicle dealerships. Specifically, the bill removes a previous requirement that a manufacturer must have continuously offered electric vehicles for sale for at least 12 months before being allowed to own, operate, or control up to five new vehicle dealerships trading solely in electric vehicles. The existing law already allows manufacturers to own these dealerships under certain conditions, and this bill eliminates the 12-month sales history prerequisite, potentially making it easier for electric vehicle manufacturers to establish and operate their own dealerships. The bill will take effect 60 days after its enactment, and it applies to the definition of electric vehicles as outlined in Pennsylvania's vehicle code. By removing the sales history requirement, the bill may facilitate more direct sales and market entry for electric vehicle manufacturers.
