FINAL REGULATION ORDER

Amend and Renumber section 1962.2, titl e 13, California Code of Regulation (CCR), to read as follows:

[Note: Set forth below ar e the 2012 amendments to the el ectric vehicle charging requirements. The text of the amendments is shown in underline to indicate
additions and strikeout to indicate del etions, compared to the preexisting regulatory language.]

§ 1962.2.3. Electric Vehi cle Charging Requirements

(a) Applicability . This section applies to (1) all battery electric vehicles, range extended battery electric vehicles, ex cept for model year 2006 through 2013 neighborhood electric vehicles, that qua lify for 1.0 or greater ZEV credit under section 1962.1and 1962.2, and (2) all hybrid electric vehicl es that are capable of being recharged by a battery charger that transfers energy from the electricity grid to the vehicle for purposes of rec harging the vehicle traction battery, other than battery electric vehicles and hybrid el ectric vehicles that are only capable of Level 1 charging.

(b) Definitions

.
(1) The definitions in section 196 2.1 and 1962.2 apply to this section.

(2) "Level 1 charging" means a chargi ng method that allows an electric vehicle or hybrid electric vehicle to be charged by having its charger connected to the most common gr ounded receptacle (NEMA 5-15R). A vehicle that is only capable of Level 1 charging is one that is charged by
an on-board or off-board c harger capable of accept ing energy from the existing AC supply network. The maximum power is 12 amps, with a branch circuit rating of 15 amps, and continuous power of 1.44 kilowatts.

(c) Requirements

.
(1) Beginning with the 2006 model y ear, all vehicles identified in subsection (a) must be equipped with a conductive charger inlet port and charging system which meets all the spec ifications applicable to AC Level 1 and Level 2 charging contained in Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Surface Vehicle Recommended Practice SAE J1772 REV NOV 2001 JAN 2010, SAE Electric Vehicle and Plug in Hybrid Elec tric Vehicle Conduc tive Charge Coupler, which is incorporated herein by referenc e. All such vehicles must also be equipped with an on-board charger with a minimum output of 3.3 kilovolt amps.kilowatts, or, sufficient power to enable a complete charge in less than 4
hours.§1962.3 B-5-2
As Amended: March 22, 2012 Date of Hearing: January 26-27, 2012 (2) A manufacturer may apply to the Ex ecutive Officer for approval to use an alternative to the AC inlet described in subsection (c)(1), provided that the following conditions are met:

(A) each vehicle is supplied wit h a rigid adaptor that would enable
the vehicle to meet all of the remaining system and on-board charger requirements described in subsection (c)(1); and

(B) the rigid adaptor and alte rnative inlet must be tested and approved by a Nationally Recogni zed Testing Laboratory (NRTL).
