Quote: “The new [California] rule requires that charging stations (Electric Vehicle Service Equipment, or “EVSEs”) have a “primary indicating element” directly “on the face” of the station. This display will show the EVSE’s kWh capacity, price per kWh, and a running meter of kWh delivered. A lot like gasoline pumps already do. This rule will only apply to new Level 2 chargers deployed 2021 onwards, and DCFC chargers deployed 2023 onwards”.
Tesla could of course show all that information in the car while you are charging, and in fact already does show some of that information. It seems that California regulators are still using the “gas pump” approach to thinking about EV chargers. Which seems silly to me. Just require EVs to show all that information in the car while charging. No need to physically modify existing charting pedestals to show it.
But the bigger news is this, quote: “Effective January 1, 2020, these new rules ban operators of electric vehicle charging stations from billing by the minute.”
This has a huge impact on Electrify American, EVGo, and others.
