3 Ways an Oil & Gas Coalition against EVs failed

Where: Minnesota, specifically at the Minnesota State Public Utility Commission

How did the oil & gas coalition against EVs fail in Minnesota?

• The issue failed to win over the regulators. The Oil & Gas coalition argued that the PUC did not have authority to regulate the utility for behind-the-meter charging & raised ratepayer concerns
• New action by opponents to EVs. The action was unusual to see oil and gas actively involved in electric utility regulation
• MN PUC believes that it has “full rights” to regulate behind-the-meter charging infrastructure as a utility
