Governor Brown’s ZEV Executive Order (B-16-2012)

Issued by Gov. Brown, sets long-term target of reaching 1.5 million zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) by 2025; establishes goal to reduce GHG emissions from transportation sector to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050.

Governor Brown’s Inaugural Address January 2015

By 2030: 1) Increase from one-third to 50 percent our electricity derived from renewable sources; 2) Reduce today’s petroleum use in cars and trucks by up to 50 percent; and 3) Double the efficiency of existing buildings and make heating fuels cleaner.

C A L I F O R N I A E N E R G Y C O M M I S S I O N

Support for Zero-Emission Vehicles • Governor’s Zero-Emission Vehicle Action Plan goal of 1.5 million zero-emission

vehicles in 2025• Greater adoption will require:

– Additional incentives – Strategic investments in infrastructure and planning – More directed research and innovative funding partnerships

• Fuel pathways for zero- and near-zero vehicles include:– Natural gas– Electric drive – Hydrogen fuel cell electric drive– Hybrid and range extender combinations
