An Act aligning state electric vehicle charger reliability regulations with the national electric vehicle infrastructure program

This bill (SD 2364) requires Massachusetts state agencies to finalize electric vehicle (EV) charger reliability regulations by February 1, 2026. The regulations must align with federal standards under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program. They will apply to all EV chargers installed on or after March 30, 2023, directly affecting the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs and the Division of Standards. The key change is setting a specific deadline for agencies to adopt rules ensuring charger reliability, matching federal program requirements.
