California’s ZEV Action Plan

Accelerating the market for zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) is a cornerstone of California’s long-term transportation strategy to reduce localized pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, save consumers money, and enable continued economic growth. In addition to promoting these vehicle technologies, the state supports the development and use of low carbon fuels, as well as planning more environmentally sustainable communities that reduce unnecessary vehicle travel and congestion. In March 2012 Governor Brown signed an Executive Order calling for 1.5 million ZEVs by 2025. To identify specific actions that the State can take to reach this goal, the Governor’s Office with the input from a Governor’s Office Interagency Working Group developed the 2013 ZEV Action Plan.
