Weights and Measures - Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment - Registration Fees

HB 1225 limits registration fees for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations to match the fees charged for gas pump meters. Specifically, it prohibits charging stations from being assessed more per "port" than the fee for a single gas pump meter. The bill also requires the Maryland Strategic Energy Investment Fund to cover costs for inspecting EV charging equipment, redirecting funds previously allocated elsewhere. This affects EV charging station operators and state inspection programs, ensuring fee consistency between EV charging and traditional fuel dispensing.
