Summary –
The bill would require an electric utility to add a surcharge of $0.03/kWh to the price of electricity at “electric charging stations” served by the utility, and to examine by the beginning of 2021 the technological feasibility of adding the same surcharge to electricity used for residential chargers. (It defines an “electric charging station” by reference as “a public or private parking space that is served by charging equipment”, which seems as if it might include residential chargers, but the context makes it clear that it’s not intended to.)
