Background
Staff will present a summary of policy recommendations to increase ZEV uptake developed in response to SB 498 (Skinner, Chapter 628, Statutes of 2017). SB 498 tasked CARB with reporting to the Legislature on its programs that affect the adoption of light-, medium-, and heavy-duty ZEVs, including reviewing the program goals and status in meeting those goals, conducting cost-benefit analyses, comparing CARB's ZEV programs with ZEV programs in other states and countries, identifying policy recommendations for increasing the adoption of ZEVs in the state, and identifying actions fleets can take to increase the use of ZEVs within their fleets. The Board will consider public comments on the policy recommendations prior to submitting the report to the Legislature.
Further inquiries regarding this matter should be directed to Melanie Zauscher, Air Pollution Specialist, Emerging Strategies Section, at (916) 322-0516 or Annalisa Schilla, Manager, Emerging Strategies Section, at (916) 322-8514.
As required by SB 498, CARB staff will present the policy recommendations identified in the draft report “Assessment of CARB’s Zero-Emission Vehicle Programs per Senate Bill 498” at the meeting. Copies of the draft report may be obtained from CARB’s Public Information Office, 1001 I Street, First Floor, Environmental Services Center, Sacramento, California, 95814, on December 20, 2019 .
