SEC. 2. ELECTRIC VEHICLE INFRASTRUCTURE.

(a) Amendment of PURPA.--Section 111(d) of the Public Utility
Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 2621(d)) is amended by
adding at the end the following:
''(20) Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle and electric vehicle
infrastructure.--
''(A) Utility plan for infrastructure.--Each
electric utility shall develop a plan to support the
use of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and electric
vehicles, including heavy-duty hybrid electric
vehicles. The plan may provide for deployment of
electrical charging stations in public or private
locations, including street parking, parking garages,
parking lots, homes, gas stations, and highway rest
stops. Any such plan may also include--
''(i) battery exchange, fast charging
infrastructure and other services;
''(ii) triggers for infrastructure
deployment based upon market penetration of
plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and electric
vehicles; and
''(iii) such other elements as the State
determines necessary to support electric
vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.
Each plan under this paragraph shall provide for the
deployment of the charging infrastructure or other
infrastructure necessary to adequately support the use
of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and electric
vehicles.
''(B) Support requirements.--Each State regulatory
authority (in the case of each electric utility for
which it has ratemaking authority) and each utility (in
the case of a nonregulated utility) shall--
''(i) require that charging infrastructure
deployed is interoperable with products of all
auto manufacturers to the extent possible; and
''(ii) consider adopting minimum
requirements for deployment of electrical
charging infrastructure and other appropriate
requirements necessary to support the use of
plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and electric
vehicles.
''(C) Cost recovery.--Each State regulatory
authority (in the case of each electric utility for
which it has ratemaking authority) and each utility (in
the case of a nonregulated utility) shall consider
whether, and to what extent, to allow cost recovery for
plans and implementation of plans.
''(D) Smart grid integration.--The State regulatory
authority (in the case of each electric utility for
which it has ratemaking authority) and each utility (in
the case of a nonregulated utility) shall--
''(i) establish any appropriate protocols
and standards for integrating plug-in hybrid
electric vehicles and electric vehicles into an
electrical distribution system, including smart
grid systems and devices;
''(ii) include the ability for each plug-in
hybrid electric vehicle and electric vehicle to
be identified individually and to be associated
with its owner's electric utility account,
regardless of the location that the vehicle is
plugged in, for purposes of appropriate billing
for any electricity required to charge the
vehicle's batteries as well as any crediting
for electricity provided to the electric
utility from the vehicle's batteries; and
''(iii) review the determination made in
response to section 1252 of the Energy Policy
Act of 2005 in light of this section, including
whether time-of-use pricing should be employed
to enable the use of plug-in hybrid electric
vehicles and electric vehicles to contribute to
meeting peak-load power needs''.
(b) Compliance.--
(1) Time limitations.--Section 112(b) of the Public Utility
Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 2622(b)) is amended
by adding the following at the end thereof:
''(7)(A) Not later than 1 year after the enactment of this
paragraph, each State regulatory authority (with respect to
each electric utility for which it has ratemaking authority)
and each nonregulated utility shall commence the consideration
referred to in section 111, or set a hearing date for
consideration, with respect to the standard established by
paragraph (20) of section 111(d).
''(B) Not later than 2 years after the date of the
enactment of this paragraph, each State regulatory authority
(with respect to each electric utility for which it has
ratemaking authority), and each nonregulated electric utility,
shall complete the consideration, and shall make the
determination, referred to in section 111 with respect to the
standard established by paragraph (20) of section 111(d).''.
(2) Failure to comply.--Section 112(c) of the Public
Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 2622(c)) is
amended by adding the following at the end:
''In the case of the standards established by paragraph (20) of
section 111(d), the reference contained in this subsection to the date
of enactment of this Act shall be deemed to be a reference to the date
of enactment of such paragraph.''.
(3) Prior state actions.--Section 112(d) of the Public
Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 2622(d)) is
amended by inserting ''and paragraph (20)'' before ''of section
111(d)''.
Output:
Vehicles for the Future Act - Amends the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 to establish standards for electric utilities regarding electric vehicle infrastructure. Requires electric utilities to develop a plan to support the use of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles that provides for the deployment of electrical charging stations and charging infrastructure.

Directs each state regulatory authority (in the case of each electric utility for which it has ratemaking authority) and each utility (in the case of a nonregulated utility) to: (1) require that infrastructure deployed is interoperable with products of all manufactures; (2) establish protocols and standards for integrating plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles into an electrical distribution system, including smart grid systems and devices; (3) include the ability of each vehicle to be identified individually and to be associated with its owner's electric utility account; and (4) review their determinations on time-based metering and communications.

Sets forth provisions concerning compliance with such standards.
