Utility Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Pilot Program Authorization

Electric utilities may request approval from the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission to implement a pilot program to evaluate the feasibility and design of large-scale EV charger deployment to support public-use EV adoption. Public-use EVs include electric school buses, electric transit buses, and EVs used to deliver goods and services to the public. Eligible pilot program proposals include those that:

• Install, own, or operate EV chargers or make-ready EV chargers for public-use EVs; and,
• Provide incentives or rebates to customers to encourage the purchase of EVs and installation of EV chargers.

Utilities must also include plans to install EV chargers in underserved and diverse communities.
