What’s in it
59, relating to the provision of electrical service at electric vehicle charging stations. The bill provides that it is in the public interest to encourage the development of electric vehicle infrastructure in Iowa and eliminate barriers for electrical service at electric vehicle charging stations. The bill defines “electric vehicle charging station” to include a commercial or public charging station. The bill provides that an electric vehicle is not a public utility and is not subject to regulation by the Iowa utilities board.
Read the full explanation
The sale of electricity at a charging station shall not constitute the resale of electric service. If the charging station obtains electrical service from a rate-regulated electric utility, the electrical service shall be governed by and subject to the electric utility’s filed tariff. However, a rate-regulated electric utility shall not consider the use of electric service by an electric vehicle charging station customer as a basis of establishing discriminatory rates, charges, terms, or conditions for the customer, or subjecting the customer to any prejudice or disadvantage, including but not limited to prohibiting the customer from selling electricity on a kilowatt-hour basis.
