SB6586 – Imposes a per mile fee on electric and hybrid vehicles. This entry was posted in All Bills, Electric Vehicles, Senate, Utilities on Februby Thad Curtz. (It defines an “electric charging station” by reference as “a public or private parking space that is served by charging equipment”, which seems as if it might include residential chargers, but the context makes it clear that it’s not intended to.) The bill would require an electric utility to add a surcharge of $0.03/kWh to the price of electricity at “electric charging stations” served by the utility, and to examine by the beginning of 2021 the technological feasibility of adding the same surcharge to electricity used for residential chargers. Prime Sponsor – Senator Fortunato (R 31st District Auburn) SB6682 – Adds $0.03/kWh to the price of electricity from “electric vehicle charging stations.” This entry was posted in All Bills, Electric Vehicles, Senate, Transportation on Februby Thad Curtz. The Council has to allow limited reductions in the number of required spaces or provide exemptions if there’s substantial evidence that the added electrical load would require on-property power transformation on the utility’s side of the meter, or would require upgrading the existing residential service. If accessible parking is also provided, at least one of the accessible spaces has to be ready for charger installation.

Ten percent of the spaces in non-residential uses have to be EV ready. If there are more surface spaces, and in parking garages serving multi-family residences, and in all other residential uses twenty percent of the spaces must be EV ready. If there are seven to twenty-five surface spaces, at least six must be ready for chargers. In multi-family buildings with one to six surface parking spaces, each space is to have it. This infrastructure for at least one charger is to be provided in private parking for an individual dwelling.
#EVS XFILE 3 IMPORT RULE CODE#
The bill requires the Building Code Council to add rules requiring a 40 Amp circuit and the wiring to make it easy to add 240 volt Level 2 chargers for new buildings in group B (which includes office buildings and ones containing professional or service businesses) in hotels and motels in group R-2 (which includes buildings with sleeping units or more than two dwelling units that have primarily permanent occupants) and in group R-3 (which includes single family residences and some other residential buildings like boarding houses). The bill would expand that to require more spaces, and to cover single family residences and some other residential buildings. State law currently requires EV ready charging infrastructure for five percent of the parking spaces in new hotels and motels, and in Group B and Group R-2 buildings. Next step would be – Scheduling a hearing. Prime Sponsor – Senator Das (D 47th District Kent) (Co-Sponsors Saldaña, Nguyen, Hobbs, and Lovelett)Ĭurrent status – Referred to the Senate Committee on Environment, Energy & Technology. SB6684 – Code requirements for EV ready charging infrastructure in additional buildings.
