S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 4561 2025-2026 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y February 4, 2025 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. CUNNINGHAM -- read once and referred to the Committee on Corporations, Authorities and Commissions AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to establishing a wireless electric vehicle charging program THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature recognizes electric vehicles are crucial to cutting greenhouse gas emissions, reducing reli- ance on fossil fuels, strengthening the economy, and combating the climate crisis. As of 2019, the transportation sector accounts for twen- ty-nine percent of all greenhouse gas emissions, which is the most of any sector. Increasing the adoption of electric vehicles will reduce pollution and increase air quality for communities located near roads with high traffic density or high-volume routes. As the automotive industry shifts towards electric vehicles, investing in new electric vehicle technologies will be crucial to enhancing New York's competi- tiveness, creating jobs, and ensuring continued economic growth. Range anxiety is one of the chief barriers to electric vehicle adoption. If deployed strategically, static and dynamic wireless elec- tric vehicle charging options could help by providing drivers convenient opportunities to charge and extend the range of electric vehicles. Wire- less charging technologies could be invaluable for electric transit buses, trucking, fleet vehicles, and autonomous electric vehicles, allowing for convenient and hands-free charging, while also lowering costs, as effective wireless charging would reduce the need for larger and heavier batteries. Wireless and dynamic charging can also reduce pressure on the grid, allowing vehicles to charge through space and time, shaving peak demand and reducing the need to build massive charg- ing capacity at any given location to meet growing electric vehicle charging demand.
