More specifically, the official text was summarized by the state legislature as ’’Relating to the installation by a residential tenant of electric vehicle supply equipment in a parking space assigned to the tenant’’.
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
This bill permits residential tenants to install electric vehicle supply equipment at their own expense in parking spaces assigned exclusively for their use under a written lease, provided the spaces are accessible by an individual driveway and located near individual or embedded meters. Landlords must offer tenants a separate agreement outlining reasonable terms for installation, including compliance with safety and legal standards. Tenants are responsible for costs associated with the installation, operation, maintenance, and removal of the equipment, and must ensure electricity consumption is separately metered and paid for by them. The act becomes effective Sept. 1, 2025, and applies only to leases entered into or renewed on or after that date.

Zwiener graduated from the University of Montana.
