Electric vehicles; create certain provision concerning.

SB 2229 prohibits Mississippi electric utilities from charging customers for costs related to electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, including investments in ownership or operation. It requires utilities operating public EV charging stations to use a separate, unregulated subsidiary and charge the same fees as private providers. The bill mandates that utilities set commercial rates based solely on kilowatt-hours (not demand charges) for EV charging station operators, with tariffs due by October 2025. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not advance to become law.
