Utility Electric Vehicle (EV) Support

By January 1, 2021, and upon request by the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (Commission) thereafter, public utilities must file an application to the Commission to expand transportation electrification. Applications may include, but are not limited to, incentives to facilitate the installation of EV charging infrastructure, electrification of public fleet vehicles, EV charging rates, and customer outreach and education programs. The Commission may approve applications based on whether the proposed projects can be reasonably expected to improve the electrical system efficiency of the public utility, to increase access to electricity as a transportation fuel, including in low income and underserved communities, to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, and to encourage consumer adoption of EVs.
