Citations Affected:  IC 8-1.
Synopsis:  Electric vehicles and electricity pricing. Provides that a
person that: (1) owns, operates, or leases electric vehicle (EV) supply
equipment; and (2) makes the EV supply equipment available for use
by the public for compensation; may charge the public for such use
based in whole or in part on the kilowatt hours of electricity sold.
Specifies that a person that makes EV supply equipment available for
use by the public for compensation, regardless of whether the person
charges the public for such use based on: (1) the kilowatt hours of
electricity sold; (2) the amount of time spent by an EV at a designated
charging space; or (3) a combination of both; is not a public utility
solely by reason of engaging in this activity. Authorizes the utility
regulatory commission (IURC) to approve: (1) time-varying price
structures and tariffs; or (2) other alternative pricing structures and

for approval of a pilot program must include. Provides that an electric
utility's request for approval of a pilot program may include a request
for: (1) assurance of cost recovery for pilot program capital costs, up
to the amount of an approved cost estimate; and (2) deferral of pilot
program capital costs. Sets forth the processes by which an electric
utility may request the IURC's approval of a pilot program. Provides
that the IURC shall approve an electric utility's request for approval of
a pilot program if the IURC determines that the proposed pilot program
is reasonable, just, and in the public interest. Sets forth certain factors
that the IURC must consider in making this determination. Specifies
that an electric utility is not prohibited from: (1) installing, owning, or
operating charging infrastructure or make-ready infrastructure for
electric vehicles; and (2) seeking to include the associated capital costs
in the electric utility's basic rates and charges by initiating a proceeding
before the IURC. Provides that in such a case, the IURC shall approve
the inclusion of the capital costs in the electric utility's basic rates and
charges if the IURC finds that the capital costs incurred are reasonable,
just, and in the public interest. Requires the IURC to adopt rules to
implement these provisions.
