The Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate, one of the most daring environmental policies related to transportation, was implemented in September, 1990, by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). It originally required that, starting in 1998, 2% of the in-state new light duty vehicle sales of major automakers had no emissions of criteria pollutants. The required ZEV percentage would be increased to 5% in 2001 and to 10% in 2003.
Was supposed to be at 10% in 2003 but instead in 2018 was at 5.3%. They set lofty goals, people get really upset many years before they happen, then if not practical when the date gets here CARB revises them. Nothing to lose sleep over.
