Relating to the establishment of an Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment Advisory Board.

SB 1495 would establish an Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment Advisory Board to advise Texas state agencies on standards for electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The board would consist of nine voting members representing electric vehicle supply equipment companies, installers/servicers, motor fuel retailers, public utilities, and the public, plus two nonvoting ex officio members from transportation and fire protection agencies. This advisory body would provide recommendations on installation, maintenance, calibration, and inspection standards for electric vehicle charging equipment, directly supporting the Texas Commission on Occupations and related departments.
