What This Bill Proposed
Electric vehicle fast-charging station operators in Wyoming must display a 3-by-3-inch label identifying their primary electricity source based on the prior calendar year, with violations punishable as a misdemeanor carrying a fine of up to $750, effective July 1, 2026.
Operators face criminal penalties and labeling compliance costs, while public utilities must calculate and disclose regional energy resource mixes upon request.
Who It Would Have Affected
Groups the bill's text would have affected, as described in the record. Being affected is not a position for or against it.
DC fast charging station operators
Operators must install and annually update 3-inch by 3-inch labels on charging equipment and face misdemeanor fines of up to $750 for non-compliance.
Public utilities
Public utilities must calculate and disclose annual energy resource mixes to charging station operators upon request.
Electric vehicle owners
Drivers gain visibility into the primary energy resource categories used to power their vehicles at fast charging stations.
Key Facts
- DC fast charging station operators receiving electricity exclusively from a public utility must display a clear and conspicuous 3-inch by 3-inch label identifying the single largest energy resource category from the prior calendar year.
- Operators generating and using on-site electricity while also receiving utility power must label either the on-site source or the utility source, depending on which constitutes the single largest energy resource category.
- If the largest energy resource category accounts for less than 50 percent of the station's electricity share, the label must display the two largest energy resource categories.
- Public utilities must calculate and disclose the single or two largest energy resource categories upon request, based on the energy resource mix in the certificated service territory.
Show all 8 facts
- Public utilities are not required to provide energy resource categories for each individual meter serving a charging station.
- Operators must update the required energy labels annually no later than March 31.
- Violations of the labeling requirements constitute a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $750.00.
- The act establishes definitions for DC fast charging stations, energy resource categories, and public utilities under a new Chapter 32 of Title 40.
