OhioState agencies would charge fees for public electric vehicle charging
If enacted, Ohio state agencies would generally need to charge a fee for public electric vehicle charging at stations on property they control.
What it does
State agencies would generally have to charge for public use of their electric vehicle stations. Free charging could continue for vehicles used exclusively by the agency.
Argument forCharging fees could help agencies recover electricity, equipment, and maintenance costs instead of paying for public users' charging.
Argument againstFees could make public charging at state facilities less affordable or less convenient for people who rely on those stations.
More detail
State agencies would require a reasonable fee when people use their electric vehicle charging stations for public charging. The rule covers state offices, courts, legislative agencies, state-supported colleges and universities, and other state bodies using stations on property they control. The director of administrative services would set the fee for each station. The fee would consider electricity, purchase and installation, and maintenance costs. A state agency could provide free charging for a vehicle used exclusively by that agency. No effective date or implementation date is stated.
