The sponsor's argument

Why Robert Jackson says this is needed

As New York works to transition from fossil fuel reliance to greener energy, more New Yorkers are purchasing zero-emission and electric vehi- cles (EV). For those who travel along New York highways, it is unclear where these public charging stations are located. This legislation directs the department of transportation to install general service signs that designate the location of EV charging stations off highway exits so EV drivers can quickly, and safely, identify where a charging station is located.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
