Assessment of CARB’s Zero-Emission Vehicle Programs Per Senate Bill 498 Mandated Report
In this report, California Air Resources Board (CARB) staff reviews its programs that affect the adoption of light-, medium-, and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs), including identifying each program’s goals and status in meeting those goals, performing a cost-benefit analysis where data are available, and comparing CARB’s ZEV programs with those of other jurisdictions. Additionally, pursuant SB 498 (Skinner, Chapter 628, Statutes of 2017), CARB provides policy recommendations for increasing the use of ZEVs in the State, as well as recommendations for vehicle fleet operators to increase the use of ZEVs.
