The Commission recommends that electric-vehicle charging distribution and default service generation rates be designed to promote fairness and equity. As such, the distribution and default service generation electric-vehicle charging rates should not establish or maintain any unreasonable preference or advantage for certain types of electric vehicles or drivers and should not create undue financial burdens for low-income customers or disadvantaged communities. The Commission recommends that electric distribution companies consider impacts on low-income customers due to the design of their distribution and default service generation electric-vehicle charging rates. Electric distribution companies may need to consider customer-specific and electric distribution company region-specific rates to best serve the needs of their communities. It is important that electric distribution companies prioritize customer education to encourage efficient and effective use of electric-vehicle charging infrastructure and knowledge of available distribution and default service generation rates.
