HD 1106: An Act relative to electric vehicle charging stations

Overview

Bill Number: HD 1106
Title: An Act relative to electric vehicle charging stations
Status: Proposed bill
Introduced: November 29, 2025

Purpose and Intent

The primary goal of this bill is to expand the availability and accessibility of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across the state. The legislation aims to incentivize the installation of charging infrastructure in both public and private settings, with the broader objective of encouraging EV adoption and supporting the state's transition to clean transportation.

Key Provisions

  • Requires all new commercial and residential buildings with parking facilities to include a minimum number of EV charging stations, based on the size and type of the building
  • Establishes a state rebate program to cover up to 50% of the costs for individuals and businesses to install Level 2 or DC fast charging stations
  • Directs the state's Department of Transportation to install EV charging stations at all rest areas and service plazas along major highways
  • Mandates that all state-owned vehicle fleets transition to EVs by 2030, with interim targets for EV adoption
  • Provides tax credits for employers who offer EV charging stations for employee use

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • Developers and builders of new commercial and residential properties will be required to incorporate EV charging infrastructure
  • Individuals and businesses looking to install EV charging stations will benefit from the state rebate program
  • Drivers of electric vehicles will have increased access to charging options, particularly along major transportation corridors
  • The state government will need to allocate funding for the rebate program and EV charging station installations
  • Automakers and the EV industry as a whole are expected to see increased demand for electric vehicles

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

HD 1106 was introduced in the state legislature on November 29, 2025 and has been referred to the Joint Committee on Transportation for initial review. The committee is expected to hold public hearings and gather stakeholder input before deciding whether to advance the bill for further consideration by the full legislature. If passed, the various provisions of the bill would be phased in over the course of several years to allow for implementation.
