Bill > H4578

This bill aims to expand the use of electric vehicles in Massachusetts by establishing several new initiatives. It creates a competitive grant program called the UMass Fleet Electrification Grant Program, which provides funding and technical assistance to universities in the University of Massachusetts system to implement transportation planning and fleet electrification projects. The bill also directs the state's energy commissioner to establish an electric vehicle dealership rebate program to provide rebates to dealerships that sell or lease eligible electric vehicles to consumers. Additionally, the bill requires electric utility distribution companies to file pilot commercial tariffs with alternative rate structures to facilitate faster charging for light-duty and heavy-duty electric vehicles.
