Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Incentive Requirement

Any state agency that offers an incentive for the installation of EV chargers must require that the EV charger is operational at least 97% of the time. State agencies must regularly review the site-wide uptime requirement on a biennial basis, to ensure that it is consistent with the minimum uptime requirement under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Grant Program minimum standards. Each State agency must develop and implement a process to monitor compliance with, and to enforce, the site-wide uptime requirement. State agencies must conduct a public stakeholder engagement process when reviewing and modifying compliance with uptime requirements.
