Overview of ZEV and Hydrogen Activities in California Analisa Bevan Chief, Sustainable Transportation Technology Branch June 2008
Overview • The ZEV Regulation • Modifications to the ZEV Regulation • Hydrogen Highway Efforts • Additional Activities
Bronze PZEVs Gold ZEVs Silver Silver + AT PZEVs Enhanced AT PZEV Zero Emission Vehicle Requirements 11 % ZEVs
Rationale for Proposed Amendments • Respond to Board’s direction at May 2007 hearing • Align program requirements to reflect Expert Panel’s findings and market status • Create opportunities for emerging technologies • Simplify program requirements
Creation of “New Path” “Alt” Path Original Path “New Path” 2005 to 2011 1990 to 2004 2012 forward Base Path Result: battery, fuel cell, plug-in hybrid fuel cell/banked credit Battery EVs / NEVs
Gold and Silver+ Option 1 Assumes a 22-mile electric range blended HEV. Number of vehicles will vary if vehicle earns different credits.
Zero Emission Vehicle Regulation(March 27, 2008) • 2009 – 2011: 2,500 Type III fuel cell vehicles or scaled number of BEVs
Silver Plus Category • Silver earning one or more credits • Use of ZEV fuel • electricity or hydrogen • Examples: • Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles • Hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicles
Three New ZEV Types • Type I.5 • City battery electric vehicle • 75 to 100 mile range • Type IV • Advanced fuel cell vehicle • Minimum 200 mile range/fast refueling • Type V • Advanced Fuel Cell Vehicle • Minimum 300 mile range/ fast refueling
Public Disclosure of Production and Credit Data • All production data to be made public beginning in 2009 • Release of ZEV credit bank balances in model year 2010 • Include credit trade transactions as public
Section 177 (Travel) Provision Provision Sunset Year • Other states who adopt LEV/ZEV regulations

California Hydrogen Highway Network • Phased approach to infrastructure implementation • Environmental goals • Shared risk
The State’s Contribution • Vehicles • Stations • CaH2Net Membership • Hydrogen Fuel Quality Standard • Environmental Standards for Hydrogen • Public outreach and education
CaH2Net Efforts • Fund public hydrogen stations • 3 awarded in 2006 (2 awards rescinded, one contract cancelled) • Fund hydrogen vehicles • 1-GM Fuel Cell Equinox, • 4-Quantum Hydrogen internal combustion engine Toyota Prius, • 2-Ford HICE Shuttle Buses
Station Network Challenges • CaH2Net Funding • Contract and indemnification • California State budget priorities • Environmental requirements • Perception about closure of existing stations • Demonstrations coming to their end • Energy Companies profit outlook • Alt Fuels competing with each other
H2 Highway Station RFP • www.cscr.dgs.ca.gov/cscr • $7.7 M made available (Year 1, 2, and 3 Funds) • Includes SB 1505 requirements • Clustered in Los Angeles, SF, Sacramento, San Diego • Retail-like stations • Technical Specifications • Proposals Due: June 13th
Summary • California Hydrogen Highway is moving forward • Cars are coming soon • Dire need for infrastructure • Looking for partners, private and public
Incentives • Purchase incentives • ZIP programs • AB 1811 Alternative Fuel Incentive Program ($1.62M for vehicle purchases) • AB 118?
Public Education • Driveclean.ca.gov • Environmental Performance Labels • Car Shows • Motoring events • Schools and children’s programs
Our Commitment • Controlling emissions from existing vehicles while driving towards commercialization of zero emission vehicles to simultaneously address smog, climate change and energy diversity issues in California • Clean cars for clean air Analisa Bevan, CARB 1001 I Street, Sacramento, CA 95814 (916) 322-1731, abevan@arb.ca.gov
