Electric vehicle charging stations; prohibit retail electric suppliers from recovering costs from ratepayers.

HB 1195 prohibits retail electric suppliers (like utility companies) from passing the costs of owning or operating public electric vehicle (EV) charging stations to electricity customers (ratepayers). It requires suppliers to file specific tariffs for selling electricity to EV charging station operators, banning demand charges and requiring billing based on kilowatt-hours. The bill also mandates that suppliers operate public EV charging stations through separate subsidiaries on non-discriminatory terms. These requirements would have applied to all rate-regulated suppliers by October 1, 2025, but the bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and never became law.
