As part of the AB 32 climate change program, Executive Order B-48-18 administratively created a goal of 5 million zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) on California roads by 2030. Tesla’s pricing continues to place its vehicles in the Near Luxury and above market segments. True ZEV sales would have to be 5.0 times higher. Background.
