The sponsor's argument

Why Leroy Comrie says this is needed

To achieve the goals of the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) and the goal for all new passenger vehicles to be zero-emis- sion by 2035, we must continue to support the transition to electric vehicles. In order to facilitate this necessary deployment of electric vehicles, New York State must ensure that electric vehicle (EV) chargers are transparent and accessible. According to a 2022 study by Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress, pricing information at charging stations are not always clearly disclosed. This is further complicated by the variety of pricing techniques used by EV chargers - while some chargers charge a flat fee, others are free for the first hour and many charge different rates per kWh. Additionally, many charges rely on smartphone apps alone as a payment method, posing accessibility issues in areas of the state that may lack service. This bill would address these transparency and accessibility issues by having the Department of Public Service establish electric vehicle (EV) charging station fee transparency standards for EV chargers that have received funding from the State or ratepayers. These standards will include clearly posting and updating the total price for the use of the EV charger at the point of sale, prohibiting a subscription fee to use the charging station, and allowing payment methods other than a mobile device. The EV charging station fee transparency standards will only apply to publicly available newly installed EV chargers and publicly available EV charges that are significantly upgraded.

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.
