Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) Applicability.
				  The requirements of this section shall apply to light-duty zero emission
				  vehicles (ZEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) certified for sale
				  in California as follows:
(1) At least 40
				  percent of a manufacturer's 2026 model year ZEVs and 100 percent of a
				  manufacturer's 2027 and subsequent model year ZEVs shall meet the requirements
				  of this section.
(2) At least 40
				  percent of a manufacturer's 2026 model year PHEVs and 100 percent of a
				  manufacturer's 2027 and subsequent model year PHEVs certified to earn vehicle
				  values in accordance with title 13, California Code of Regulations (CCR),
				  section title 13, California Code of Regulations (CCR), section
				  1962.4 shall meet the requirements of
				  subsections (c)(4)(A)2., (c)(4)(A)4.c. through (c)(4)(A)4.e., and
				  (c)(6).
(3) The phase-in
				  percentages of subsections (a)(1) and (a)(2) shall be based on the
				  manufacturer's projected sales volumes for all ZEVs and for all PHEVs projected
				  to be certified to earn vehicle values in accordance with title 13, CCR,
				  1962.4, respectively. Manufacturers shall submit phase-in plans demonstrating
				  compliance with these percentage requirements prior to submittal of a
				  certification application to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for any
				  2026 model year vehicle. Such phase-in plans shall include planned ZEV and
				  applicable PHEV models, projected sales for each model, designation of which
				  models will be complying with the applicable requirements of subsections (a)(1)
				  or (a)(2), and calculation of the resultant phase-in percentages.
(4) A manufacturer may utilize an alternative
				  phase-in to the required phase-in of subsection (a)(1) or (a)(2) as long as it
				  satisfies the following two requirements:
(i)
				  the total compliance calculation for the alternative phase-in schedule
				  according to the method below must sum to be equal to or greater than 180 by
				  the end of the 2027 model year, and
(ii) 100 percent of the manufacturer's
				  vehicles subject to the phase-in must meet the requirements of this section in
				  2028 and subsequent model years. The total compliance calculation for the
				  alternative phase-in is the percent of vehicles meeting the requirements of
				  this section in a given model year per the phase-in plan required in subsection
				  (a)(3), multiplied by 3 for the 2025 model year, by 2 for the 2026 model year,
				  and by 1 for the 2027 model year, and then summed together. A manufacturer is
				  not permitted to utilize 2024 and earlier model year vehicles to satisfy the
				  total compliance calculation requirements of the alternative phase-in described
				  in this subsection.
(5)
				  In lieu of the required phase-ins in subsections (a)(1) and (a)(2) or the
				  alternative phase-ins allowed in subsection (a)(4), small volume manufacturers
				  may meet the respective ZEV and PHEV requirements on all 2028 and subsequent
				  model year vehicles.
