Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Requirements

EV chargers installed in Minnesota must:

1. Be able to charge any make, model, or type of EV;
2. Comply with state safety standards and standards set by the Society of Automotive Engineers; and
3. Be capable of bi-directional charging once electrical utilities achieve a cost-effective ability to draw electricity from EVs connected to the utility grid.

These requirements may not apply if the installations require significant upgrades.
