An Act relative to infrastructure for electric vehicles

This bill prevents Massachusetts from enforcing any rules that require the sale of electric vehicles or ban the sale of new gasoline and diesel cars until the state's charging infrastructure is deemed sufficient. It directs the Division of Energy Resources to evaluate whether the grid can handle increased demand and whether charging stations are available and affordable before such mandates take effect. The assessment specifically looks at the number and location of charging spots on residential and commercial properties, the power grid's capacity, and the reliability and cost of charging. Essentially, the legislation ensures that the state does not force a transition to electric vehicles without first confirming that the necessary charging network is ready to support them.
