H 3886 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act to ensure electric motor vehicle charging fairness

This bill amends state law to regulate how public electric vehicle charging stations bill their customers. It requires charging station owners to calculate fees based on the amount of electricity delivered, measured in kilowatt-hours. Additionally, the legislation allows operators to charge extra fees if a vehicle remains plugged in after it has finished charging. These rules directly affect businesses that provide public charging services and the drivers who use them.
