Tasks the Director of ADOT (Director) with compiling a list of charging stations and posting the list on ADOT's public website. History A charging station is the area in the immediate vicinity of a group of chargers and includes the chargers, supporting equipment, parking areas adjacent to the chargers and lanes for vehicle ingress and egress. A charging station could comprise only part of the property on which it is located (C.F.R. § 680.104). The 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act established the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program with minimum standards and requirements for projects funded under the NEVI Formula Program and for the construction of publicly accessible EV chargers, including any EV charging infrastructure project funded with Federal funds. The standards and requirements apply to the installation, operation or maintenance of EV charging infrastructure. Provisions 1. Requires an entity, county, municipality or state agency, that approves or permits a charging station for public or private use on their property, to report as soon as practicable to ADOT: a) the location of the charging station; and b) the total number of parking spots designated for EV charging. (Sec. 1) 2. Directs the Director to compile a list of all charging stations in this state and post the list on ADOT's public website. (Sec. 1) 3. Mandates the list to be updated weekly to reflect any new or decommissioned charging locations. (Sec. 1) Amendments Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure 1. Mandates reporting requirements for an entity, county, municipality or state agency approving or permitting an EV charging station for public use only, rather than for public or private use. Page 2 2. Removes the requirement for the Director to post the list on ADOT's public website. 3. Requires the Director to compile a list of all EV charging stations and to provide a report to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives by December 31st, 2025, and once every quarter thereafter. 4. Clarifies that the report, rather than the list, is subjected to quarterly reporting, rather than weekly reporting. 5. Defines entity as any business that provides for the use of EV charging stations on the business' property.
