By 2035, California will require all new cars, SUVs and light-duty trucks sold in the state to be zero emission vehicles, following approval Aug. 25 of the Advanced Clean Cars II rule by the California Air Resources Board—the agency responsible for air pollution protections.

从2026年开始,播出将要求汽车制造商出售越来越多的电动汽车和氢车辆,以及在2035年达到100%零发射标记之前,以有限的比例出售插电式混合动力车。

目前,董事会说,目前,在加利福尼亚出售的新车辆中有16%是零排放或插电式混合动力车。

The rule is bolstered by legislative approval of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) 2022-23 budget proposal, which includes $300 million to expand EV charging infrastructure, part of a $2.7-billion total for the fiscal year in overall EV investment initiatives.

添加更多的电动汽车和hydrogen vehicle charging stations will be front of mind for infrastructure efforts related to the rule. The current number is insufficient to support the increase of zero emissions vehicles on California roads as a result of the rule,“尤其是在公寓和其他不一定保证停车摊位或充电站的地方,”AGC California首席执行官Peter Tateishi说。

With an uneven regional distribution, “there's going to be a need to enhance the whole network across the state,” particularly to support long-distance driving, he adds.

Another challenge will be investing in grid capacity, particularly to accommodate the likely number of electric vehicles on the road after 2030.

届时,董事会估计到2030年,董事会在道路上有500万个零排放车将占年度用户使用量的7%和峰值需求的1%,但使用率将大大增长,超出该日期的增加。

“That means if we're not making those investments starting now ... our grid capacity will get challenged after 2030,” saysTateishi。


新的建筑挑战?

他说:“缔约国的能力有能力满足这一需求。能力是一个不同的问题. The industry's continuing staff shortages will come up against an influx of infrastructure act funded projects related to the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, creating a lot of competition, notesTateishi。

California has long been a leader in vehicle emissions reduction efforts. EPA waivers under the Clean Air Act have enabled 17 states to adopt similar standards, with 15 specifically adopting California’s earlier Zero Emissions Vehicle regulation.

California’s new rule sets the stage for states to follow its lead. “We’re ready to adopt California’s regs by end of this year,” announced Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee in an Aug. 24 tweet, referencing a report of the rule ahead of the agency’s vote. Oregon followed the next day, with the state Dept. of Environmental Quality saying in a statement that it was “moving forward with a proposed rule similar to California’s Advanced Clean Cars II regulation.”

But other states have vowed to push back against California’s ability to set its own emissions rules.

运输约占加利福尼亚温室气体排放的一半。董事会主席Liane Randolph在一份声明中说:“在我们的道路和高速公路上迅速加速[零排放车的数量,将大大减少排放和污染。”
