New York A00232 mandates new electric vehicle charging stations to have an external automatic cutoff switch.

New York A00232 amends the executive law to establish standards for new electric vehicle charging stations, requiring them to have an external automatic cutoff switch. This cutoff switch must be hand-operated and capable of cutting off all power and electricity to the vehicle without needing a key or unlocking the device. The requirement also applies to the sale or transfer of a residence containing a permanently installed electric vehicle charging station. For residential installations, the cutoff switch must be placed outside of the house or garage. The act takes effect immediately.
