WHERE: Missouri
What happened? Courts are determining whether EV charging stations are a means of obtaining a charging service or more like a gas station?
What’s the impact? If the EV charging stations are treated like gas stations then utilities can add EV charging stations in their rate base
What did the state PUC argue? That the EV charging stations offer a service, not the sale of electricity, and are not to be included in the rate base
What are Missouri courts saying? An Appellate court found that EV charging stations are like a gas station can thus costs are recoverable in the rate base
