The sponsor's argument

Why Luis R. Sepúlveda says this is needed

Consumer surveys have shown that one of the biggest barriers to the adoption of electric vehicles is inadequate charging infrastructure. With overreliance on fossil fuels worsening our climate crisis, electric vehicles must increasingly play a role in our daily lives. The New York Power Authority has an existing statutory goal to install publicly available electric vehicle chargers. This legislation attaches a minimum number of fast charging stations for residents to ensure that the resulting infrastructure truly increases the viability of electric vehi- cle ownership in New York.

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.
