A 4624 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires electric public utilities to submit new tariffs for commercial customers for BPU approval; regulates non-volumetric electricity fees charged to operators of fast charging electric vehicle chargers.

This bill requires New Jersey's electric utilities to submit new tariffs for commercial customers to the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) for approval within 180 days of enactment. It specifically targets fees charged to operators of direct current (DC) fast charging stations (50kW+), prohibiting demand charges, subscription fees, or other non-volumetric rates until BPU approves the new tariff. The required tariffs must use alternatives to traditional demand-based pricing, ensure cost fairness between commercial and residential EV rates, remain neutral across charging technologies, and encourage investment in EV infrastructure for all vehicle types. The BPU must review and approve these tariffs expeditiously under existing law.
