Pa. PUC Proposes That EV Charging Not Be Considered Resale, Public Charging Not Subject To ...
March 16,2018
The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) will issue a proposed policy on third-party electric vehicle (EV) charging stations that seeks to provide greater clarity and consistency throughout the state.
The Commission voted 5-0 to publish a draft Policy Statement which clarifies that third-party electric vehicle charging is not considered resale/redistribution under Section 1313 of the Public Utility Code and further directs EDCs to add EV charging tariff provisions consistent with the policy.
As part of such proposal, sales from a public charging station solely to charge an EV battery would not be defined as a residential sale and not be subject to otherwise applicable residential pricing requirements
