BILL NUMBER: S8099

SPONSOR: PERALTA
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the public authorities law, in
relation to mobile cellular devices

 
PURPOSE:

To amend the public authorities law, in relation to directing the New
York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) to devel-
op and maintain an application compatible with mobile cellular devices
for electric vehicle charging stations

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 amends the public authorities law by adding a new section
1884, directing the New York energy research and development authority
to develop and maintain an application compatible with mobile cellular
devices which details the distance, driving directions, and location of
the nearest electric vehicle charging stations. The authority shall be
required to maintain a website with the same information available in

the application. The application shall contain this information in the
form of an interactive map and shall be updated with changes in opera-
tion and location every 6 months by the authority. The authority shall
be prohibited from charging a fee for use of this application.

Section 2 sets forth the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

More and more New Yorkers are purchasing electric vehicles for daily
personal use. There has been a significant investment in vehicle charg-
ing infrastructure across the state and in the City of New York.  As
more charging stations continue to come online, providing a mobile loca-
tor tool will help educate existing owners and potential electric vehi-
cle buyers of nearby stations. It will also assist electric vehicle
users with travel planning, particularly when driving outside of their
local area.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New Bill.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
