(EVSE) STANDARDS 
Public Hearing Date:  June 27, 2019 
Agenda Item No.:  19-6-3 
Addendum Prepared: May 28, 2020 
I. General 
A. Non-Substantial Modifications 
Subsequent to the 15- Day Notice, the California Air Resources Board ( CARB or Board) 
has made non- substantial modifications to the regulatory text. The non -substantial 
modifications, descri bed below , clarify and do not materially alter the requirements, 
rights, responsibilities, conditions, or prescriptions contained in the amendments as 
adopted by CARB and approved by the Office of Administrative Law.  (See Cal. Code 
Regs., tit. 1, § 40). The modifications range from adding punctuation to improve 
grammar and readability, to replacing some general terminology with clearer, more 
accurate terms. 
Final Regulation Order 
• Updated formatting of the sections being adopted to properly cite the location of 
the regulatory text. 
• Added punctuation to section numbers and names for consistency of punctuation within the California Code of Regulations. 
• Corrected formatting of Government Code citations where applicable. 
• Corrected formatting of Authority and Reference notes for all sections to capitalize “S” in “Sections.” 
• Removed [Bracketed Text] and replaced with the regulation’s effective date of 
July 1, 2020, which would be the quarterly effective date of a regulation filed with the Secretary of State between March 1 to May 31 pursuant to Gov. Code 
section 11343.4. (a)(3). 
• Updated effective dates and/or reporting requirement dates with actual dates based off of the July 1, 2020, effective date, replacing language in sections 
2360.3(b) and 2360.4(b) “On o r before 45 days after [insert the effective date of 
the regulation]” with “No later than August 15, 2020. This language will provide 
clarity since there is now an established date to follow whereas before

  establishing the date required calculating a set number of days and could be 
unclear.  E.g. language in section 2360.4.(b) that originally stated, “On or before 45 days after [insert the effective date of the regulation],” was replaced with “No 
later than August 15, 2020.” 
Section 2360. 
• Made edits to gr ammar , such as, but not limited to, adding commas to properly 
separate listed items, adding quotation marks to terms to properly identify the 
boundaries of a term, and adding missing words such as “of” or “a” to a sentence 
for increased clarity and readability. 
• Made edits to original nomenclature, replacing with more appropriate terms (such as, but not limited to, replacing “cell phone” with “mobile phone” in the definition of “Mobile payment device ,” replacing “not capable” with “incapable” in the 
definition of “ Non-networked EVSE, ” as well as replacing “section” with “chapter” 
in the term “Publicly available Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment.” 
• Moved the definition “Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) card” to be consistent with organizing definitions alphabetically. 
• Added the word “device” to the term “Mobile payment device” for increased clarity of what “hardware” CARB is referring to in its definition. This change in 
the term was then updated throughout the regulation text. 
• Removed Health and Safety Code sections 43016 and 44268 from Authority cited. 
Section 2360.1. 
• Replaced “that” with “the” in subsection (c), “operated by the EVSP,” for 
purposes of grammar. 
• Removed Health and Safety Code sections 43016 and 44268 from Authority 
cited. 
Section 2360.2 
• In subsection (b), reworded the sentence for increased clarity. 
• Added the word “device” to “credit card reader device” throughout this section for 
purposes of clarity. 
• Added/edited punctuation where necessary, such as periods at ends of all subsections. 
• Made edits to grammar, such as, but not limited to, adding “the” in subsection 
(d)(1), adding “their” and removing the plural from “credit cards” subsection 
(d)(2), and adding “submit” to subsection (f).

  • Removed Health and Safety Code sections 43016 and 44268 from Authority 
cited. 
Section 2360.3 
• Updated effective date in subsection (b) with actual date based off of t he July 1, 
2020, effective date of this regulation . This updated language of “July 1, 2021,” 
will provide clarity since there is now an established date to follow whereas in the 
previous language establishing the date required having to make a calculation of one year after the effective date of the regulation and could thus be unclear . 
• In subsection (b), added the word “herein” to “incorporated by reference herein” for purposes of clarity to help explain the document being incorporated by reference is incorporated in this subsection 
• Removed Health and Safety Code sections 43016 and 44268 from Authority cited. 
Section 2360.4 
• In subse ction (a), CARB has chosen to strike the language stating, “within 45 
days.”  The “within 45 days” language is unnecessary and potentially confusing, 
thus CARB has chosen not to proceed with that provision of the subsection for clarity purposes. 
• In subsect ion (b), (c), and (d), u pdated reporting requirement deadline date with 
actual date based off of the July 1, 2020, effective date. Language was further 
updated in subsection (b) to remove any need to calculate a date by stating, “On 
or before 45 days after [insert the effective date of the regulation]” with “No later than August 15, 2020.  As with the change to section 2360.3(b), t his language 
will provide increased clarity . 
• In subsection (d), updated the subsection that specified the necessary contact 
information to “(g)” from its original “(h).”  Subsection (g) is the correct subsection 
that specifies contact information whereas subsection (h) specifies EVSE 
certification. 
• In subsection (e), deleted “would” and replaced with “must” toward the end of the 
subsection to be consistent with the language earlier in the subsection stating that information “shall” be collected. 
• In subsection (i)(1)(A) and (B), (i)(2)(A) and (B), (k)(4)(A) and (B), removed 
unnecessary language for clarity purposes. The language further explaining 
Station ID was already defined earlier and explaining that the Station Name is the 
name of the station is redundant. 
• In subsection (i)(1)(E), (i)(2)(E), (k)(4)(I), and(k)(4)(O), reworded these 
subsections to accurately reflect how geographic coordinates are reported. 
• In subsection (j), removed the last sentence of the subsection stating that no payment data is required for something that does not require payment. This sentence is unnecessarily confusing and so CARB has struck it.

   • In subsection (j)(2), replaced, “an NFC” with “a mobile payment.”  CARB chose to 
no longer use the term “NFC” during 15- day changes and erroneously remained 
in the regulation text. 
• In subsection (k)(1), added effective date of July 1, 2020, for the same reasons as discussed earlier in this section. Added clarifying language and reworded the latter part of the subsection to make it more readable and understandable, without changing the requirements of the provision. 
• Removed instances of unnecessary/redundant language throughout (k)(4) such 
as, but not limited to, language that repeated the item name of the reportable data within its explanation (e.g. “Pricing – the field that provides pricing” had “the 
field that provides pricing” deleted). 
• General edits to grammar, such as, but not limited to, replacing instances of “i.e.” with “e.g.” where grammatically correct. 
• Removed Health and Safety Code sections 43016 and 44268 from Authority cited. 
Section 2360.5 
• Replaced “from” with “of” throughout this subsection when referring to personal receipt of a citation. 
• Removed capitalization from citation throughout this subsection. 
• Cleaned up grammar throughout this subsection, such as, but not limited to, removing plural s when terms are singular, to enhance clarity. 
• In subsection (b) and (c), removed “in whole or in part” since the language is not a necessary element of a violation, in whole or in part. 
• Updated date of annual penalty adjustment in subsection (g) with actual date based off of t he July 1, 2020, effective date of this regulation.  Same as with 
changes to previous subsections, CARB believes it is clearer to have an actual date rather than a calculated one that would equate to the actual date. 
• Removed Heal th and Safety Code sections 43016, 44268, and 42411 from 
Authority cited. Added Health and Safety Code section 43016
