A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to EXEMPT ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS FROM REGULATION AS PUBLIC UTILITIES.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  G.S. 62‑3(23) is amended by adding a new sub‑subdivision to read:
"n.	The term "public utility" shall not include a person who uses an electric vehicle charging station to resell electricity to the public for compensation, provided that all of the following apply:
1.	The reseller has procured the electricity from an electric power supplier, as defined in G.S. 62‑133.8(a)(3), that is authorized to engage in the retail sale of electricity within the territory in which the electric vehicle charging service is provided.
2.	All resales are exclusively for the charging of plug‑in electric vehicles, as defined in G.S. 20‑4.01(28a).
3.	The charging station is immobile.
4.	Utility service to an electric vehicle charging station shall be provided subject to the electric power supplier's terms and conditions.
Nothing in this sub‑subdivision shall be construed to limit the ability of an electric power supplier to use electric vehicle charging stations to furnish electricity for charging electric vehicles. Any increases in customer demand or energy consumption associated with transportation electrification shall not constitute found revenues for an electric public utility."
SECTION 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
