Requires the chair of the public service commission create rules, regulations, policies, and procedures for the creation of a resilient electric vehicle charging system pilot program to provide power through an extended outage.

This bill requires the chair of the New York Public Service Commission to develop rules and procedures for a pilot program aimed at creating a reliable electric vehicle charging system. This system would ensure that electric vehicles can still be charged during extended power outages, enhancing energy resilience.

Supporters of the bill would highlight its potential to improve energy security and accessibility for electric vehicle owners during emergencies. They would argue that establishing a resilient charging system is a proactive step toward a sustainable future and could encourage more people to adopt electric vehicles.

Critics might argue that the bill could lead to unnecessary spending on a pilot program without guaranteed outcomes. They may also express concerns about prioritizing electric vehicle infrastructure over more immediate energy needs and the potential burden on taxpayers.
