50 PERCENT PURE ZEV PURCHASING EXEMPTION - 4121.2

Beginning in FY 16/17, agencies that have integrated Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) compatible telematics solutions into 100 percent of their ZEV fleet and commit to providing DGS with monthly reporting demonstrating proper charging/fueling of these ZEVs shall be exempt from the 50 percent pure ZEV purchasing requirement.

Charging/fueling information captured by the telematics solution shall be uploaded monthly, in accordance with Executive Order (EO) B-2-11 and Public Resource Code Section 25722.5, into the Fleet Asset Management System (FAMS). The Department of General Services (DGS), Office of Fleet and Asset Management (OFAM) will monitor charging/fueling data to ensure proper use of ZEV assets.

ZEVs include plug-in electric vehicle such as Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) as well as Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCV). An ZEV capable vehicle telematics solution must be able to accurately report electricity, petroleum (as applicable), and hydrogen fuel usage, as well as other vehicle reporting data such as odometer information and days used on a monthly basis.
