Summary

The bill orders the Energy Commission, in partnership with the Office of Emergency Services and Energy Infrastructure Safety, to identify which direct‑current fast‑charging stations are critical during events such as earthquakes, wildfires, extreme weather or public safety power shutoffs, and to set guidelines for maintaining power at those sites. Operators of the identified stations must submit emergency‑management plans and annual reports, and electric utilities must include EV charging stations in their own emergency‑response plans. The measure was vetoed by the governor.
