The California Public Utilities Commission has issued an Order Instituting Rulemaking (OIR) "To Consider Alternative Vehicle Programs, Tariffs, and Policies.
"Summary
The Commission opens this rulemaking to address issues relating to the
expanding use of alternative-fueled vehicles (AFV) in California. In particular,
the Commission is continuing the work it started in Rulemaking (R.) 09-08-009,
to support California Executive Order B-16-2012, which set a target of 1.5 million
zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) on the roads in California by 2025. The
Governor’s Office has also developed a “ZEV Action Plan” for state agencies to
support the ZEV target, and this Commission was identified as the lead agency
on several action items."
"Consistent with the ZEV Action Plan and California’s policies on
alternative-fueled vehicles, and to support the Commission’s achievement of its
action items, this proceeding may broadly consider all issues related to
alternative-fueled vehicle adoption. The proceeding will primarily focus on
specific ongoing issues such as financing options, appropriate rate design and
development of new policies related to AFVs."
".....this may include new rate designs for plug-in electric
and natural gas vehicles, including light-duty and medium/heavy-duty vehicles,
and policies for residential, multi-family, workplace and fleet plug-in electric
vehicles (PEVs). Throughout these tracks, this proceeding will also explore how
financing opportunities can unlock long-term value in PEVs or reduce upfront
costs as a means of accelerating PEV adoption and infrastructure deployment,
including medium- and heavy-duty vehicle infrastructure. "
