Khalil, Yahia F. with Michael Radzicki, "The Dynamics of the Zero-Emission Vehicle Industry", 1996
ua435
The Fresh Clean Air Act of 1990 stipulates that states must meet certain air quality requirements during the decade of the 1990's and beyond, and those states choosing to require the sale of Zero Emission Vehicle (essentially electric vehicles) to help meet the standards must follow the mandates put forth by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). CARB originally mandated put forth by the California Air Resource Board (CARB) CARB originally mandated that 2% of the vehicles offered for sale in California be zero emission in 1998, 5% be zero emission in 2001, and 10% be zero emission in 2003. Recently however, CARB voted to ease the mandates although 10% of the vehicles offered for sale on California must still be zero emission in 2003, automakers may decide for themselves how many ZEVs to sell in California before 2003. The mandates were relaxed because automakers convinced CARB that current ZEV technology cannot meet the needs of the mass consumer market. Massachusetts, however, has voted to maintain the "2% in 1998" mandate, regardless of what California does.
