Utility Bill Spikes + EV Chargers

What’s the deal? A comprehensive transportation bill in Massachusetts included language that requires utilities to give state regulators ways for people/businesses with fast chargers to avoid excessive bills.

Why should we care? Everyone is trying to figure out how to get more fast chargers out there, and right now the way traditional billing works doesn’t encourage deployment of fast chargers that take a large surge of electricity quickly.

How can this impact me? Every state and city is working on solutions for this, so let’s all see what the utilities in MA propose because the answer might be in there.
