Electricity Sector Law (Amendment – Charging Electric Vehicles via a Unified Payment App) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק משק החשמל (תיקון - טעינת רכב חשמלי באמצעות יישומון תשלום אחוד)

TL;DRA proposal to require operators of electric vehicle charging stations to allow payment through one unified app for all providers.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal amends the Electricity Sector Law by adding a section defining a unified payment app for charging electric vehicles. Charging station operators will be required to allow their customers to charge their vehicles at their stations and pay through this app on terms identical to those in their own payment app. The responsible minister will set detailed provisions in regulations with the approval of the Knesset Economic Affairs Committee, to be adopted within six months of the law's publication.
