That's pretty regressive. Do you suspect there is some strong lobbying
from the petroleum industry ? :) Fortunately, that's an extreme case
among the states.

Subject: [EVDL] EVLN: NC wants to eliminate free EV charging
You couldn't make something like this up; nobody would believe it. On
second thought, make that "nobody in a sane state or nation would believe
it."
PS - North Carolina already charges EV owners an extra $130 per year for the
privilege of helping clean up NC's air.
North Carolina Lawmaker Want to Scrap Free EV Charging Stations
The 'Equitable Free Vehicle Fuel Stations' bill allocates up to
$50,000 to remove charging stations.
The bill ... includes a number of provisions intended to discourage
the installation of free electric vehicle (EV) charging stations ...
[it includes] up to $50,000 for "the purpose of removing any electric
vehicle charging stations that do not comply with the provisions of
this act." ... it requires both public and private locations where EV
charging is offered to provide "gasoline or diesel fuel for motor
vehicles through a pump to the public at no charge," so other drivers
can make use of those stations as well.
