Electric vehicle infrastructure pilot programs. Authorizes an electric utility (defined for purposes of these provisions as a public utility that is subject to the jurisdiction of the utility regulatory commission (IURC)) to request approval from the IURC to implement a pilot program to do any of the following: (1) Install, own, or operate charging infrastructure and make-ready infrastructure for electric vehicles. (2) Provide incentives or rebates to customers to encourage customer investment in electric vehicles and in associated individual electric vehicle infrastructure. Provides that an electric utility's request may include a request for: (1) assurance of cost recovery for pilot program costs, up to the amount of an approved cost estimate; and (2) deferral of pilot program costs. Provides that the IURC shall approve an electric utility's request if the IURC finds the proposed pilot program and costs to be reasonable and consistent with state policy. Specifies that an electric utility is not prohibited from: (1) installing, owning, or operating charging infrastructure or make-ready infrastructure; and (2) seeking to include the associated costs in the electric utility's basic rates and charges by initiating a proceeding before the IURC. Provides that in such a case, the IURC shall approve the inclusion of the costs in the electric utility's basic rates and charges if the IURC finds that the costs incurred are reasonable and consistent with state policy.
