        Introduced  by  Sen. KENNEDY -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

        AN  ACT  amending  the public service law, in relation to establishing a
          commercial tariff on certain electric vehicles

          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section  1.  The public service law is amended by adding a new section
     2  66-q to read as follows:
     3    § 66-q. Electric vehicle charging; commercial tariff. 1.  Definitions.
     4  For  purposes  of  this section, the term "electric vehicles" shall mean
     5  and include a motor vehicle that:
     6    (a) was manufactured for use primarily on public  streets,  roads  and
     7  highways;
     8    (b)  the  powertrain  of which has not been modified from the original
     9  manufacturer's specifications;
    10    (c) has a maximum speed capability of at least  fifty-five  miles  per
    11  hour; and
    12    (d)  is propelled at least in part by an electric motor and associated
    13  power electronics which provide acceleration torque to the drive  wheels
    14  sometime  during  normal  vehicle operations, and that draws electricity
    15  from a hydrogen fuel cell or from a battery that:
    16    (i) has a capacity of not less than four kilowatt hours; and
    17    (ii) is capable of being recharged from an external  source  of  elec-
    18  tricity.
    19    2.  Each combination gas and electric corporation shall file an appli-
    20  cation with the commission to establish a  commercial  tariff  utilizing
    21  alternatives  to  traditional demand-based rate structures to facilitate
    22  faster charging for eligible light duty, heavy duty, and fleet  electric
    23  vehicles.  Each  tariff shall evaluate the relative costs, benefits, and
    24  ancillary related costs and  benefits  associated  with  various  faster
    25  charging  rate  designs  and  do  so  for  multiple scenarios where each
    26  predicts a different rate of electric vehicle adoption.

                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.

     3    4.  Within  sixty days of commission approval of a combination gas and
     4  electric corporation's tariff filed under this section, such combination
     5  gas and electric corporation shall make the tariff available to  custom-
     6  ers.
     7    5.  The  combination  gas  and  electric  corporation  may at any time
     8  propose revisions to a tariff filed under this section based on changing
     9  costs or conditions.
    10    6. Each combination gas and electric corporation  providing  a  tariff
    11  under  this  section  shall  periodically  report  to the commission, as
    12  established by the commission and on a form prescribed  by  the  commis-
    13  sion, the following information:
