Added to Building Design section of new code.
All applicable facilities shall maintain Electric Vehicle (EV) fleets in accordance with the following:
Heavy-Duty Trucks: all heavy-duty trucks (Class 7 and 8) domiciled on site are model year 2014 or later from start of operations and shall expedite a transition to zero-emission vehicles, with the fleet fully zero-emission by December 31, 2025, or when commercially available for the intended application, whichever date is later.
Medium-Duty Vehicles: vehicles/delivery vans/trucks (Class 2 through 6) on site shall apply: (i) 33% of the fleet will be zero emission vehicles at start of operations, (ii) 65% of the fleet will be zero emission vehicles by December 31, 2023, (iii) 80% of the fleet will be zero emission vehicles by December 31, 2025, and (iv) 100% of the fleet will be zero emission vehicles by December 31, 2027. "Domiciled on site": applies to vehicles parked or kept overnight at the qualifying facility(ies) more than 70% of the calendar year or dedicated to the qualifying facility(ies) site (defined as more than 70% of the truck routes during the calendar year that start at the qualifying facility(ies) site even if parked or kept elsewhere). The tenant/operator of the qualifying facility(ies) shall not be responsible to meet "clean fleet" requirements for vehicles used by common carriers operating under their own authority that provide delivery services to or from the qualifying facility(ies) site.
Zero emission vehicles that require maintenance can be temporarily replaced with alternative vehicles.
If an EV fleet is not commercially viable, documentation from a minimum of three (3) EV dealers identified on the californiahvip.org website must be submitted prior to issuance of a building permit for the new building demonstrating the inability to obtain the required EVs or equipment needed within 6 months.
If a qualifying facility fails to meet the "clean fleet" requirement, the tenant/operator must implement a Voluntary Emissions Reduction Agreement (VERA) that mitigates emissions through emission reduction projects. The Air District will verify the mitigation effort. The tenant/operator must continue to fund the VERA until fully compliant with the clean fleet requirements.
Electric Vehicle Chargers Stations (EVCS) Infrastructure for Trucks: provide conduits to provide EVCS to meet future needs. Conduit should be provided on the site to serve 50% of the number of truck docking stations. Location of conduit is at the discretion of the developer (e.g., truck trailer parking spaces or docking stations).
To facilitate the installation of future electric vehicle charging stations for heavy-heavy duty (HHD) trucks, in connection with each individual development proposal, the subject building improvement plans shall identify an area for future HHD truck charging stations and the subject developer shall install conduit from the power source to the identified area.
Alternative standard is proposed to require installation of conduits for heavy duty charging stations for future installation of charging stations. California Air Resources Board (CARB) is responsible for regulating and enforcing state standards for electric vehicle (EV) heavy duty and medium duty fleet compliance requirements. Revised as EV Fleets and monitor are not current requirements per state law nor in common practice or commercially available. Staff proposed alternatives based on other examples provided by independent consultants. Alternatives include EV ready truck charging stations and enhance automobile parking. Added to Site Design section of new code.
Electric charging facilities shall be provided onsite sufficient to charge all automobiles, and electric trucks domiciled on the site.
