The California Air Resources Board (CARB) wants your input on a new California Vehicle Window Sticker. As more Californians are looking to buy electric vehicles, it is important that consumers have access to meaningful information about these cars. To provide better information, CARB is developing requirements for a new window sticker. Please fill out the survey, linked below, to help us further refine the window sticker.
This survey should take 3-5 minutes to complete. Your individual responses are anonymous and will remain confidential. Thank you for your participation.

Background
Advanced Clean Cars Regulations
In 2022, CARB adopted the Advanced Clean Cars II regulations to establish the next phase of regulations beginning with the 2026 model year. Advanced Clean Cars II:
-
Increases the stringency of the smog-causing criteria pollutant standards, known as LEV IV.
-
Updates the zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) regulation to require 100% of new passenger vehicles to meet zero-emission standards by the 2035 model year.
-
Establishes a suite of assurance measures to ensure zero-emission vehicles can provide enduring emission reductions.
In 2008, CARB introduced the California Environmental Performance Label (henceforth referred to as window sticker) under Assembly Bill 1229, which required a vehicle window-sticker to show a vehicle’s smog and global warming score, relative to other vehicles available. In 2012, the California window sticker was incorporated into the U.S. EPA and Department of Transportation Fuel Economy Label. With more Californians looking to purchase ZEVs, CARB wants to ensure consumers have the information they are seeking when making those decisions. Staff are developing a proposal for an updated California window sticker with improved metrics for battery electric vehicles, which would accompany the current Fuel Economy Label.
