HB 2291 requires public electric vehicle charging stations to allow access without memberships, subscriptions, or additional registration. It prohibits providers from collecting unnecessary personal data and mandates that all stations accept standard payment methods like credit cards or mobile payments. The law does not apply to private charging stations reserved for specific individuals or organizations. It takes effect on November 1, 2025.
SB 1579 expands Oklahoma's income tax credit for investments in clean-burning motor vehicle fuel infrastructure. It directly affects businesses and individuals installing or purchasing equipment for compressed natural gas (CNG), hydrogen fuel cells, liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), or electric vehicle charging systems. The bill provides tiered credits based on vehicle weight (up to $100,000 for heavy trucks), 45% of infrastructure costs for fueling stations, and $2,500 for residential CNG systems. Unused credits may be carried forward for up to five years to offset future tax liability.

SB 51 provides a $200 one-time income tax credit for Oklahoma taxpayers who purchase a qualifying e-bike for use on streets and roads. The credit applies to tax years starting in 2026 and is refundable if it exceeds the taxpayer's income tax liability. It defines "e-bike" as a two- or three-wheeled electric vehicle capable of exceeding 15 mph (excluding standing electric scooters). The bill takes effect November 1, 2025, directly benefiting residents who buy eligible e-bikes.
HB 1957 requires street-legal low-speed electric vehicles and golf carts to be registered as motor vehicles in Oklahoma. It removes the need for an "M" license endorsement for operators (who must be at least 16 with a standard driver’s license) and mandates compliance with federal safety standards for vehicles operated on roads with speed limits ≤35 mph. Service Oklahoma can register converted golf carts meeting federal safety rules without requiring a full 17-digit vehicle identification number. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025, and does not override local city restrictions on low-speed vehicle use.
HB 1236 amends Oklahoma's tax code to clarify and expand exemptions for motor vehicle sales. It specifically adds electric vehicles (low-speed or medium-speed) to the list of vehicles exempt from sales tax when the Oklahoma Motor Vehicle Excise Tax has been paid. The bill also clarifies that trade-in value is excluded when calculating gross receipts for motor vehicle sales tax purposes. This directly affects motor vehicle buyers, dealers, and tax collectors by standardizing when sales tax applies. The changes ensure electric vehicles receive the same tax treatment as conventional vehicles for sales tax exemption purposes.
