Comments on: Cali Makes It Official: Electric Car Charging Won’t Fall Under Utility Rules http://gigaom.com/cleantech/cali-makes-it-official-electric-car-charging-wont-fall-under-utility-rules/ Sat, 11 Feb 2012 03:10:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Paul Scott http://gigaom.com/cleantech/cali-makes-it-official-electric-car-charging-wont-fall-under-utility-rules/#comment-266500 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 05:37:39 +0000 http://earth2tech.com/?p=63076#comment-266500 I’m confused. What does this statement by PG&E mean, “no need exists for traditional cost-based regulation of pricing, as long as no market power is demonstrated.”

And further the article says, “The group has also pushed for the CPUC to avoid boxing EV charging providers into a definition as entities that resell electricity, rather than providing an electric vehicle service.”

Did the CPUC allow the reselling of kWh or not? This is not clearly stated and it’s absolutely crucial. The archaic rule that disallows the reselling of kWh absolutely has to be stricken from the books.

Someone please explain whether this was done, and of not, why not?
