Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill adds a section to the Electricity Sector Law requiring every operator of an electric vehicle charging station to allow customers to charge their vehicles and pay through a unified payment app. The app will allow payment at the stations of all charging providers through one application, on terms identical to the operator's own payment app. The technical specifications and terms will be set in regulations approved by the Minister of Economy with the consent of the Knesset Economic Affairs Committee, and they will be submitted for approval within six months of the law's publication.
