]]> Electric Vehicle Charging Stations are Regulated by TDLR https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/news/2023/08/24/electric-vehicle-charging-stations-are-regulated-by-tdlr/ TDLR-WP-POST-ID-329 Thu, 24 Aug 2023 16:15:00 +0000 TDLR is responsible for creating a regulatory framework for electric vehicle charging stations, making rules for the installation and operation of electric vehicle supply equipment, as well inspecting charging stations and administering consumer protections and consumer complaint procedures.

Senate Bill 1001 (88th Regular Session) became law on June 18, 2023. The law:

  • Allows TDLR to inspect EV supply equipment periodically or in response to a complaint;
  • Requires EV supply providers to register and maintain equipment according to rules;
  • Authorizes the Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation to adopt fees and rules, consistent with national standards;
  • Requires electric vehicle charging station users to be provided a receipt of all commercial transactions;
  • Directs operators to remove and repair damaged equipment; and
  • Establishes standard regulatory authority for TDLR.

TDLR has until Dec. 1, 2024, to adopt rules governing the program.
