(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subchapter, any agency or department that owns or controls electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), as defined in 30 V.S.A. § 201, may establish, set, and adjust fees for the use of that EVSE. The agency or department may establish fees for electric vehicle charging at less than its costs, to cover its costs, or equal to the retail rate charged for the use of EVSE available to the public. Fees collected under this section shall be deposited in the same fund or account within a fund from which the electric operating expense for the EVSE originated.

(b) The Agency of Transportation and the Department of Buildings and General Services shall make staff available to standing committees of the General Assembly beginning on January 15 each year to give an oral presentation that provides an update on the State‘s efforts to collect fees for the use of EVSE that is owned or controlled by the State pursuant to subsection (a) of this section and shall make available as part of that presentation a copy of any applicable fee schedules, along with an explanation as to whether or not the fee schedule accounts for expenses associated with the EVSE, including electricity costs.
