3.2 TZEV Requirements

. In order for a vehicle to be eligible to receive a ZEV allowance, the manufacturer must demonstrate compliance with all of the following requirements:

* * * * *

(b) Evaporative Emissions. Certify the vehicle to the evaporative emission

standards in subdivision 1976(b)(1)(G)

. or 1976(b)(1)(E) Manufacturers may certify 2018 and 2019 TZEVs to the evaporative standards for PCs and LDTs in subdivision 1976(b)(1)(E) ;

(a) Zero

- Emission Vehicle Miles Traveled TZEV Allowance Calculation. A vehicle that meets the requirements of subdivision C.3.2 and has zero

- emission vehicle miles traveled (VMT), as d efined by and calculated by this test procedure and measured as equivalent all electric range (EAER) capability will generate allowance according to the following equation:3

(1) Allowance for US06 Capability. TZEVs with US06 all electric range capability (AER) of at least 10 miles shall earn an additional 0.2 allowance. US06 test cycle range capability shall be determined in accordance with section E.8 G.7.5 of these test procedu res.

(1) Application

. Manufacturers may apply to the Executive Officer, no later

than December 31, 2016 , to be eligible for this subdivision C.7.6(c) , based on the following qualifications:

(A) A manufacturer must have no model year 2017 compliance debits and no outstanding debits from all previous model year compliance with

sections 1961.1 and 1961.3

, or compliance with the National greenhouse gas program as allowed by sub division s 1 961.1(a)(1)(A)(ii) and 1961.3(c )

, and

(B) A manufacturer must have no model year 2017 compli ance debits and no outstanding debits from all previous model year compliance with
section 1962.1, and

(C) A manufacturer must submit documentation of its projected product plans to show over compliance with the manufacturer’s section 1961.3 requirements

, or over compliance with the National greenhouse gas program requirements as allowed by subdivision 1961.3(c ) by at least 2.0 gCO 2 /mile in each model year through the entire 2018 through 2021 model year period

.4

As Amended: December 6 , 2012 Date of Hearing: November 15, 2012 (2) Credit Generation and Calculation. Ma nufacturers must calculate their over compliance with section 1961.3 requirements , or over compliance with the National greenhouse gas program requirements as allowed by sub division 1961.3(c ) for model years 2018 through 2021 based on compliance with the p revious model year standard. For example, to generate credits for this subdivision C.7.6(c) for model year 2018, manufacturers would calculate credits based on model year 2017 compliance with

section 1961.3 , or compliance with the National greenhouse gas program requirements as allowed by subdivision 1961.3 ( c )

.

(A) At least 2.0 gCO 2 /mile over compliance with section 1961.3 , or over compliance with the National greenhouse gas program as allowed by subdivision 1961.3(c ) is required in each year and the following equation must be used to calculate the amount of ZEV credits earned for purposes of this subdivision C.7.6(c) :

[(Manufacturer US PC and LDT Sales) x (gCO 2 /mile below manufacturer GHG standard for a given model y ear)] / (Manufacturer GHG standard for a given model year)

(B) Credits earned under section subdivision 1961.3(a)(9) , or credits earned under 40 CFR, part 86, Subpart S, 86.1866

- 12(a), 86.1866

- 12(b),

or 86.1870

- 12 may not be included in the calculation of gCO 2 /mile credits for use in the above equation in subdivision (A). All ZEVs included in the calculation above must include associated upstream emission values

found in section 1961.3

.

(C) Banked gCO 2 /mile credits earned under 1961.1 and 1961.3 , or under the National greenhouse gas program requirements as allowed by

sub division 1961.3( c ) from previous model years or from other manufacturers may not be included in the calculation of gCO 2 /mile credits for use in the above equation in subdivision (A)

.

(3) Use of GHG

- ZEV Over Compliance Credits . A manufacturer may use no more than the percentage enumerated in the table below to meet either the total ZEV requirement nor the portion of their ZEV requirement that must be met with ZEV credits,

with credits earned under this subdivision C.7.6(c).

Credits earned in any given model year under this subdivision C.7.6(c) may only be used in the applicable model year and may not be used in any other model year.

Credits calculated under this provision must also be removed from the GHG compliance bank, and cannot be banked for future compliance toward section 1961.3 , towards compliance with the National greenhouse gas program requirements as allowed by

subdivision 1961.3(c )

. 2018 2019 2020 2021

As Amended: December 6 , 2012 Date of Hearing: November 15, 2012 (4) Reporting Requirements. Annually, manufacturers are required to submit calculations of credits for this subdivision C.7.6(c) for the model year, any remaining credits/debits from previous model years under section 1961.3 , or under the National greenhouse gas program requirements as allowed by sub division 1961.3 ( c ) , and projected credits/debits for future years through 2021 under section 1961.3 , or under the National greenhouse gas program requirements as allowed by subdivision 1961.3(c ) and this subdivision C.7.6(c)

.

If a manufacturer, who has been granted the ability to generate credits under this subdivision C.7.6(c), fails to over comply by at least 2.0 gCO 2 /mile in any one year, the manufacturer will be subject to the full ZEV req uirements for the model year and future model years, and will not be able to earn credits for any other model year under this subdivision C.7.6(c).

(5) If the Executive Officer does not make a determination that a Federal greenhouse gas fleet standard is functionally equivalent to subdivision 1961.3, than this subdivision C.7.6(c)(1) through (4) is unavailable for use by any manufacturer.
