Committee moves bill targeting e-commerce warehouses to require EV chargers
Summary
Bill 4191 would require certain heavy distribution centers engaged in e-commerce to provide EV charging; the committee moved the measure forward after sponsors said the focus is on e-commerce facilities, not all warehouses.
The committee advanced Bill 4191, which would require EV charging infrastructure at certain heavy distribution centers engaged in e-commerce and meeting size thresholds in the bill's definition.
Senators asked for clarity about the bill's scope; one member cited specific large warehouse complexes in the Mohawk Valley and asked whether these facilities would be covered. A staff member said the intention is to target warehouses that fall within the e-commerce sector; facilities not involved in e-commerce would be exempt.
Members discussed community impacts near large logistics centers and whether dedicated charging at those sites might reduce local competition for charging resources. The clerk moved the bill forward to third reading.
