Bill tries to eliminate free charging for electric cars in North Carolina with poor argument

A new bill has been introduced in North Carolina to try to eliminate free charging for electric cars at businesses,...

electrek.co

Any person who is engaged in a business where electric vehicle charging stations are provided for use by the public at no charge shall ensure that each customer of the business, without regard to whether the customer uses the charging stations, is informed of, on the receipt for purchases, the percentage of the amount of the customer’s total purchase price that is a result of the business providing electric vehicle charging stations at no charge.

It doesn’t directly block the ability of a company to provide free charging, but adds a nuisance to it and also will also pay companies to remove their public charging stations.

It is highly, highly unlikely this bill will pass.
