An act relating to public electric vehicle supply equipment standards of service
H.796 requires all publicly available electric vehicle charging stations (EVSE) to accept multiple payment methods, including credit cards. It mandates clear display of all fees - such as parking charges for remaining at the station after charging - and real-time status updates showing availability. The bill also requires compliance with additional rules set by Vermont's Secretary of Transportation to ensure reliable service. These changes directly affect EVSE operators and drivers using public charging infrastructure.
