Require new vehicle charging stations to be universal
HB 2095 requires all new public electric vehicle (EV) charging stations installed in West Virginia after January 1, 2026, to support any EV manufactured after July 1, 2025, from 18 major automakers including General Motors, Ford, Toyota, Hyundai, and Tesla. This applies specifically to stations for public use, directly affecting EV drivers and station installers. The law mandates universal compatibility - similar to standardized gas nozzles - ensuring chargers work with all major EV brands, eliminating the need for multiple proprietary systems. It does not apply to existing stations or private charging locations.
