Bill summary

House committee substitute makes the following changes to the 1st edition. Amends proposed GS 20-162.4 to more specifically prohibit parking a vehicle in an electric vehicle charging station located on public or private property unless the vehicle is an electric vehicle connected to the charging equipment for the purpose of charging the vehicle (was, prohibited parking a vehicle in the station if the vehicle is not connected to the charging equipment). Prohibits a city or county from requiring, by ordinance, a different penalty than that specified in statute (was, municipalities may, by ordinance, prohibit additional conduct and provide higher penalties). Adds that the statute's provisions supersede and preempt any ordinance adopted or imposed by a unit of local government that establishes a penalty for parking a vehicle in an electric vehicle charging station without connecting the vehicle to the charging equipment. Specifies that the statute may be enforced by the State, county, city, and other municipal authorities in their respective jurisdictions, whether on public or private property.
