Industry Sponsors Bill to Boost EV Fire Safety

As part of our ongoing commitment to addressing challenges facing commercial real estate, our industry coalition is proud to sponsor another key piece of legislation.

AB 588 (Patel; D-San Diego) creates a lithium battery safety working group to provide clear fire safety guidance as EV charging and battery storage expand across California. With no statewide standards, property owners and officials face inconsistent regulations and risks.

This bill ensures experts develop best practices to enhance safety, streamline compliance, and support smart clean energy investments in commercial real estate. The bill is currently in the Assembly Committee on Emergency Management.

Though the March 31 deadline has passed for submitting Right-of-Entry (ROE) forms, the request for federal aid continues to shape the ongoing recovery efforts for businesses and property owners affected by the fires.
