Who this typically touches

Business types a matter in this class typically reaches. Our inference from the class, not the record's words; a specific organization is named on these pages only when the record itself names it.

Likely to gain: charging-station manufacturers and installers; electrical contractors; charging network operators and installers (a requirement creates installations with a permit trail).

Likely affected: property owners and developers subject to the requirement (they carry the installation cost); developers and property owners subject to the requirement (they carry the conduit and installation cost at construction).

Worth watching: electric utilities (new load and interconnection requests follow).
