8. Conclusion

After having considered all the arguments presented by parties in this proceeding, we conclude that the ownership or operation of a facility that sells electric vehicle charging services to the public and the selling of electric vehicle charging services from that facility to the public does not make the corporation or person a public utility within the meaning of § 216 solely because of that sale, ownership or operation. In Phase 2 of this proceeding, we will consider a number of other issues raised by parties. We will convene a prehearing conference to initiate Phase 2 and more fully define the issues and the appropriate processes to address those issues.
