(1) The vehicle is operated less than 1,000 miles per year excluding any mileage travelled while performing emergency operations in support of a declared emergency event; and

(2) The fleet owner must report the vehicle as a backup vehicle and must submit odometer readings as specified in section 2013.2(f).

(3) Backup vehicles that no longer meet the criteria specified in (1) and (2) above cannot be operated in California and must be removed from the California fleet if the fleet is out of compliance with section 2013(d).

(1) Submit the make, model, weight class, configuration, and a photograph of the ICE vehicle to be replaced.

(2) Identify the BEV that is available to purchase in the same weight class and configuration with the highest rated energy capacity available. Submit the make, model, weight class, configuration, and rated energy capacity of the identified BEV.

(3) Calculate the range of the vehicle identified in section 2013.1(b)(2) in miles by dividing the rated energy capacity of the identified BEV by the following factors: for Class 2b through 3 vehicles, 0.6 kilowatt-hours per mile; for Class 4 through 6 vehicles, 1.3 kilowatt-hours per mile; for Class 7 and 8 vehicles that are not tractors, 1.8 kilowatt-hours per mile; for Class 7 and 8 tractors, 2.1 kilowatt-hours per mile. For vehicles that operate truck-mounted or integrated equipment while stationary, in lieu of calculating the needed rated energy capacity based on vehicle miles travelled, the needed rated energy capacity is the same as the measured BEV energy use specified in section 2013.1(b)(3)(A). Submit the calculation and results.

(4) Submit a daily usage report for a period of at least 30 consecutive workdays from within the last 12 months using telemetry data or other data collection system that tracks daily mileage and energy use, and hours of vehicle operation if applicable, for all ICE vehicles of the same weight class and configuration of the vehicle to be replaced. Fleet owners that have a mutual aid agreement to send vehicles to assist other entities during a declared emergency event may alternatively submit this report from within the last 60 months. The report must include the daily miles traveled and energy used to drive for each ICE vehicle of the same weight class and configuration of the vehicle to be replaced. Identify the lowest mileage reading for each day and exclude the three highest readings. For the exemption to be granted, the highest remaining mileage or energy use number must be greater than the range calculated in 2013.1(b)(3) or the energy use data submitted per section 2013.1(b)(3)(A).

(5) Submit a description of the daily assignments or routes used by existing vehicle configurations with an explanation of why all BEVs available to purchase of the same weight class and configuration cannot be charged or fueled during the workday at the depot, within one mile of the routes, or where ZEV fueling infrastructure is available. The explanation must include a description of why charging could not be managed during driver rest periods or breaks during the workday.

(6) In granting or denying the exemption request, the Executive Officer will rely on the information submitted by the applicant and utilize their good engineering judgement to determine whether the information meets the criteria specified in section 2013.1(b).

(1) ZEV Infrastructure Construction Delays. Fleet owners may request this extension if they experience a construction delay due to circumstances beyond their control. The Executive Officer will grant an extension for up to two years, beginning on the applicable compliance date for the number of vehicles that qualify for the extension, per project, if they determine the fleet owner meets the criteria specified below. The fleet owner must submit the documents specified in subsections (A) through (D) below the following by email to [email protected] to apply:

(2) ZEV Infrastructure Site Electrification Delays. Until January 1, 2030, fleet owners may request this extension if their electric utility provider determines it cannot provide the requested power to the site where ZEVs will be charged or refueled before the fleet's next ZEV compliance deadline. The Executive Officer will grant an extension for the time-period specified in section 2013.1(c)(2)(A) and number of vehicles specified in section 2013.1(c)(2)(B) if they determine the fleet owner satisfies the criteria for this delay, based on the information submitted below and the exercise of their good engineering judgment. The fleet owner must meet the criteria specified in subsections (A) and (B) and submit the documentation or information specified in subsection (C) below by email to [email protected] to apply:

(1) ZEV Purchase Exemption List. The Executive Officer will establish and maintain a list of vehicle configurations on the CARB Advanced Clean Fleets webpage at https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/our-work/programs/advanced-clean-fleets no later than January 1, 2025. That list will specify vehicle configurations that are not available to purchase as ZEVs or NZEVs and the date the exemption expires for listed configurations determined to be available to purchase as specified in section 2013.1(d)(2)(G). The list will include the configurations specified in section 2013.1(d)(1)(A). The Executive Officer will rely on the information submitted and gathered in section 2013.1(d)(2) and utilize their good engineering and business judgement to determine if the information establishes that the criteria in sections 2013.1(d)(2)(C) through (G) are met when determining whether to add a vehicle configuration to the list or to identify the expiration date for a vehicle configuration on the list. The list will not include the following configurations: pickups, any buses, box trucks, vans, or any tractors. Fleet owners may purchase a new ICE vehicle of the same configuration and weight class as one on the list as specified in section 2013(n)(4), report the purchase as specified in section 2013.2(g), and keep records as specified in section 2013.3(e), and CARB will recognize that vehicle as having met the criteria for the exemption.

(2) ZEV Purchase Exemption Application. Fleet owners may request an exemption as specified in section 2013(n)(4) to purchase a new ICE vehicle of the same configuration as an ICE vehicle being replaced as specified in section 2013.1(d)(2)(A)1. If approved, fleet owners must place their new ICE vehicle orders within 1 year from the date the exemption is granted. The fleet owner must submit information specified in (A) and (B) below by email to [email protected]. The Executive Officer will rely on the information submitted in sections 2013.1(d)(2)(A) and (B) and their good engineering and business judgement to determine if the information establishes that the criteria specified in sections 2013.1(d)(2)(C) through (G) are met:

(1) The make, model, weight class, configuration, and a photograph of the needed ICE vehicle;

(2) Documentation from each manufacturer offering ZEVs for sale of the same configuration and weight class as the ICE vehicle identified in section 2013.1(e)(1) describing the charging or fueling connector and charging or fueling time capability;

(3) Documentation from three mobile ZEV fueling providers, with mobile fueling options that are compatible with the vehicle's charging or hydrogen fueling connector and system identified in section 2013.1(e)(2) to show the ZEV cannot be refueled from 10 to 80 percent of the ZEVs rated energy capacity within one hour. If less than three mobile ZEV fueling providers have compatible mobile fueling options for the ZEV, documentation must be submitted from all mobile ZEV fueling providers that do have compatible mobile fueling options;

(4) A copy of the mutual aid agreement in effect with other entities to assist with affected vehicles during declared emergency events; and

(5) A letter to the Executive Officer that has an explanation of the reason for the exemption request.
