AN ACT CONCERNING ELECTRIC CAR BATTERIES.

SB 286 requires electric vehicle manufacturers to label each vehicle with detailed battery information, including what the battery is made of, where each component originates, the percentage of each component, and how many miles the vehicle must be driven to offset its emissions. It also mandates dealers to label vehicles with an estimated monthly electricity cost for full charging, based on the previous year's local average rates. These labels aim to give buyers clear, upfront information about battery composition and operating costs. The bill directly affects electric vehicle buyers and applies to both manufacturers and dealers selling new EVs.
