This bill eliminates the federal requirement for state regulatory authorities and utilities to consider and implement specific electric vehicle (EV) charging programs. The goal is to protect electricity consumers (ratepayers) from potential costs associated with federally imposed EV infrastructure mandates. This shifts the authority for developing EV charging standards entirely back to state and local decision-makers.
