Comment | I apologize for joining the webinar late, so perhaps my questions have already been addressed. My questions relate to ZEV definition and off-grid charging stations. 1/ Does the definition of ZEV include the emissions from electric company generating stations? I drive an EV, but our local power company is ~40% coal and ~40% gas fired. So while the vehicle emits no carbon pollution, the energy that I use is largely carbon based. How can a vehicle qualify as ZEV in this scenario? 2/ My company is promoting, designing, and installing EV charging stations which will be solar-battery with some grid-tied backup, but also capable of 100% off-grid charging. Some of our customers will provide the charging energy with no cost to the consumer. In other words, as a perk of visiting the company location or the municipal parking lot in the business district. As battery costs come down, we envision this model for business or home locations may come to play a large part of the EV charging infrastructure. Will the 'off grid' charging stations be included in your ARB reporting and compliance structure? 3/ Related to 2 above, if we are 'off grid', how does the Air Resources Board have any oversight or compliance or reporting requirements? |
