Public Utility Definition

According to the New York Public Service Commission (PSC), electric vehicle (EV) chargers are not defined as electric plants and owners and operators of chargers are not defined as electric corporations. The PSC does not have jurisdiction over publicly available EV chargers, the owners and operators of the chargers, or the transactions between the owners and operators of the stations, as long as the owners and operators do not fall within the definition of an electric corporation.
