Overview

Directs an entity, county, municipality or state agency, that approves or permits an electric vehicle (EV) charging station (charging station) for public use on their property, to report to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) the location of charging stations and total number of parking spots for charging. Tasks the Director of ADOT (Director) with compiling a list of charging stations and providing a report to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

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. ยง 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.
