California SB533 mandates payment options and disclosure requirements for electric vehicle charging stations.

California SB533 amends the Health and Safety Code to establish requirements for electric vehicle charging stations. It mandates that stations installed after July 10, 2023, must offer contactless payment methods and either a toll-free number or SMS for payment. Stations at arenas with at least 15,000 seats can require payment via internet-based applications. The bill also prohibits charging stations from requiring subscription fees or memberships, and mandates disclosure of all charges at the point of sale.
