The bill amends RCW 43.01.250 to authorize the state to provide charging locations for electrical vehicles at state office locations, allowing privately owned vehicles to purchase power from the state. This change aims to facilitate the use of electric vehicles and promote cleaner air. The fees collected from these charging services will be directed to the motor vehicle fund, ensuring that the revenue generated supports related state initiatives.
Additionally, the bill allows the director of the department of enterprise services to report to the governor and relevant legislative committees on the estimated electricity consumption by state-purchased plug-in electrical vehicles, particularly if the costs are significant. This reporting requirement aims to enhance transparency and accountability regarding the state's use of electricity for electric vehicles.
