Comment | ICCT strongly supports CARB's proposed update to the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV), Low Emission Vehicle (LEV), and Clean Fuels Outlet (CFO) programs and we commend CARB for its national and international leadership on advanced technology development, conventional pollutant control and greenhouse gas reduction. We agree with CARB’s ZEV upstream emissions accounting proposal in the LEV III greenhouse gas standards, and staff efforts to explore regulatory and non-regulatory options for hydrogen infrastructure deployment. We encourage CARB to cap the potential reduction of ZEV targets through automakers’ “overcompliance” with federal GHG standards and to require earlier notifications when they choose this option. We also encourage CARB to end “Neighborhood Electric Vehicles” credit issuance and revise proposed “BEVx” credits. We support CARBs proposal to lower PM emission rates. We encourage CARB to accelerate fine particulate emission standards to achieve greater and more rapid public health benefits. We also encourage CARB staff to adjust the proposed ozone precursor limits for aggressive driving and air conditioning scenarios. |
