Summary

The bill directs the California Public Utilities Commission to set targets that each electric utility must meet to install enough electric‑vehicle charging stations at multifamily residences to triple existing levels by 2037. Utilities must file detailed advice letters, report progress annually, and recover unreimbursed costs from ratepayers while using certified contractors and time‑of‑use rates. The measure aims to close the charging gap for apartment dwellers and support the state’s climate and equity goals.
