S 10125 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Requires certain state owned and operated parking facilities to install and maintain charging stations for plug-in electric vehicles

This bill requires New York State-owned parking facilities with fifty or more spaces to install and maintain charging stations for electric vehicles. The Office of General Services is responsible for installing the equipment and may handle maintenance or hire contractors for repairs if needed. The specific number of chargers will be determined by future rules that use either a percentage of total parking spaces or a power capacity calculation method. These requirements apply to new facilities within one year of the bill's effective date, while existing facilities are exempt until new regulations are finalized. The law excludes minor repairs or changes that affect less than half of a parking facility.

MODERATE

The bill was amended to simplify requirements and shift from a rigid mandate to a flexible regulatory approach. The specific percentage mandates for charging stations were removed and replaced with a requirement for the Office of General Services to create flexible rules. Additionally, the effective date was changed from the following April to immediately.

Scope change

The bill now applies to any state parking facility with fifty or more spaces, removing the previous distinction between facilities with 50-200 spaces and those with over 200 spaces.

REQUIREMENT

Removed specific percentage mandates (10% for 50-200 spaces, 20% for over 200 spaces) and replaced them with a directive for the Office of General Services to promulgate flexible rules.

Added new requirements for the Office of General Services to issue rules within one year that establish guidelines for power capacity and ensure equitable access.

Added exemptions for facilities undergoing repairs to less than 50% of their capacity or changes in occupancy/use.

DEFINITION

Added new definitions for 'electric vehicle ready infrastructure' and 'power-based allocation method' to allow compliance based on total power capacity rather than just the number of chargers.

TIMELINE

Changed the effective date from 'the first of April next succeeding' to 'immediately'.
