Bill > A3937

This bill requires electric public utilities to charge residential customers the lower residential electricity rate for electricity used to charge electric vehicles (EVs) at designated parking spaces, whether at their own homes or within a planned real estate development where they reside. A "designated parking space" is defined as a parking space specifically for a resident's use, including at their own premises or in a development. The bill also prohibits utilities from charging more than the residential rate, or an equivalent EV-specific residential charging rate, for electricity supplied to a development for EV charging stations intended for individual residents. However, if a development has a separate contract for electricity from a provider other than the utility serving it, the utility can charge an agreed-upon rate for distribution services. Importantly, this bill does not prevent a development that has installed EV charging stations from setting its own prices for the electricity provided through those stations. Additionally, utilities are required to install necessary electrical infrastructure to support future EV charging stations up to the point where the utility's equipment connects to the customer's, with associated costs recoverable by the utility, excluding the cost of the charging station itself.
