California Air Resources Board

Report to the Governor on Executive Order N-27-25 Zero Emissions Vehicle Deployment 

Public Dialogue Sessions Used to Inform the Report

The public sessions linked below were held to help inform California’s efforts to assess additional actions to spur light-, medium-, and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) adoption in the state. These sessions brought together policymakers, experts and leaders from the environmental and scientific communities, automotive and trucking industries, fleet operators, community groups, and the public to discuss a variety of issues including infrastructure, incentives, partnerships, and emission reduction strategies.

During the dialogue sessions,  the following four questions were used to guide the conversation with the audience:

• Given recent federal program changes, what is the #1 action that California can take to maintain momentum in the zero-emission market?
• In order to meet air quality and climate targets, what types of programs would you like to see these agencies assess and possibly implement?
• Government incentives don’t necessarily need to be monetary. What kinds of programs other than financial support could provide incentive to purchase and operate zero-emission vehicles and equipment?
• To get to widespread use of zero-emission vehicles and equipment, we need to bring all Californians along. What are some principles for program design that ensure we don’t leave any Californians behind?
