GRID Act

The GRID Act repeals federal requirements that would have mandated electric utilities to implement EV charging programs. It removes specific provisions from the 1978 Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act related to electric vehicle infrastructure, including standards for utility EV charging mandates. This directly affects electric utilities by eliminating federal directives about EV charging and ratepayers who might have faced potential cost increases from such requirements. The bill effectively prevents federal imposition of EV charging mandates on utilities.
