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 bill to require operators of electric vehicle charging stations to allow payment through a single unified app for all providers.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill adds a section to the Electricity Sector Law requiring every charging station operator to offer its customers the option of paying for charging through a unified payment app, on terms identical to its own app. The minister will set the provisions regarding the app in regulations, with the consent of the Knesset Economic Affairs Committee. The bill aims to prevent a situation in which an electric vehicle owner needs to keep several different apps, and to increase competition in the charging market.
