The rule establishes a year-by-year roadmap so that by 2035 100% of new cars and light trucks sold in California will be zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). Plug-in hybrid, full battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles count toward an automaker’s requirement.
