Comments on Commissioner Workshop on Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Vehicle Market Trends

On June 8, the CHBC submitted comments to the CEC regarding the Commissioner Workshop on Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Vehicle Market Trends. The CHBC expressed disappointment due to the agenda for this workshop excluding any focus or panelist experts on hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), which has become a common pattern at the Commission and risks creating a misperception that ZEV is equivalent battery electric vehicles (BEVs). Additionally, the CHBC expressed appreciation to CEC staff and Commissioner Monahan for their comments and questions during the workshop that recognized hydrogen fuel cell electric technology as an important piece of the Heavy Duty ZEV market and their expression of support for including this solution in future 2020 IEPR update workshops.
