Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Promotion Requirement

Electric utilities must design rates to encourage EV charger use and file rate schedule proposals with the Maine Public Utilities Commission (PUC). Utilities filed proposals with the PUC on November 1, 2021. Proposed EV charging stations must align with the strategies in Maine’s climate action plan and consider costs/benefits under varying EV adoption scenarios. The PUC conducted the proceeding and may approve, modify, or establish such rates..
