Retail Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Equipment Labeling and Inspection Requirements

Retail EV chargers must display the price per kilowatt-hour in whole cents or tenths of a cent or indicate that the electricity is free of charge. If more than one price might apply, the terms that determine each price must be displayed. Retail EV chargers must also display the power level of the EV charger, type of energy transfer, and cost of any additional fees that may apply to use the EV charger. Labeling must be compliant with Title 16 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 309, and with the National Electric Code NFPA 70, Article 625. The Minnesota Department of Commerce must inspect EV chargers for compliance annually. EV charger owners must pay an inspection fee of $100 per port. Additional requirements apply.
