Relating to the source of power for stations and other equipment used to dispense energy to electric vehicles.

SB 1694 requires public electric vehicle (EV) charging stations installed after December 1, 2024, that are funded by public grants or state rebate programs to be powered exclusively by renewable energy sources. It applies only to stations available to the public, not primarily for private use, and mandates they use widely compatible charging connectors. The bill also requires EV supply providers to maintain equipment in compliance with these renewable energy standards. This law takes effect September 1, 2025, unless passed with a two-thirds vote for immediate implementation.
