Current Annual Incentive Funding (Millions)
California Incentives Legislation» SB 11, AB 8 would
provide $2 billion +
» Extends AB 118, Carl Moyer, AB 923 to 2023

Regulatory Uncertainty around Carbon Pricing
» Two existing policies put a price on carbon for transportation sector» Low Carbon Fuel Standard
» Fuels “under the cap” in cap and trade
» Effort underway to weaken or replace policies
» 2013 is crucial year for question of how to deal with transportation and climate» What is technically feasible?
» What will it cost?
» What does industry need to bring solutions forward?
Need California Industry “Campaign” to Educate Policymakers
We see need inclusive, tech-neutral outreach effort focused on:
» Potential & benefits of clean transportation tech
» Need for regulatory certainty
» Need for dedicated RD&D funding
» Need for meaningful deployment funding
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT AND ENGAGEMENT!
Next Steps

» LA and Inland Empire are key areas
» Want companies engaged in broader outreach and education campaign» Possible lobby day around incentive programs
