CHAPTER 16-662 WAC
Weights & Measures - National Handbooks, Sale of Motor Fuel, Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment, and Penalties for Violations
Overview of Rule Making
On December 10, 2024, the Department adopted amendments to chapter 16-662 WAC that align with the Federal Highway Administration’s National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program’s technical requirements for electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) payment methods. The Department also expanded upon these requirements to include additional technologies and be inclusive of evolving technologies.
By amending this rule to align with the NEVI and California requirements, as well as expanding upon those requirements to include additional technologies, the Department is ensuring that it continues to meet its statutory mandate to remain consistent with evolving technology, while also seeking to minimize costs and maximizing benefits to the public.
