In implementing the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE or EV Charging Station) Standards Regulation, CARB continues to evaluate barriers to access and the extent to which the Regulation is adequately addressing those barriers. As part of that effort, and consistent with Board direction, staff conducted a Technology Review, including surveys of drivers’ experiences accessing public charging stations and evaluated the availability and use of different payment methods to understand whether the requirements of the Regulation remain appropriate. This report presents preliminary findings from that work that was presented to the Board on April 28, 2022.
