Background Vehicle manufacturers and operators are deploying MHD EVs at an increasing rate with a recent report citing the availability of over 160 models and over 17,500 zero emission trucks in operation—a nearly 10-fold increase from just 3 years ago.1 This trend in MHD EV adoption is driven by a combination of factors, including declining battery costs, improvements in vehicle performance and range, and growing recognition of the economic and environmental benefits associated with electrification. The regulatory landscape governing MHD EVs (DOT vehicle classes 4 through 8) is evolving rapidly as well, driven in part by imperatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and criteria pollutants. Examples of such regulations include performance-based emission standards by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 2 and the Advanced Clean Trucks rule through the California Air Resources Board,3 which other States may elect to adopt consistent with Section 177 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7507). 1 https://calstart.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/ 01/ZIO-ZET-2024_010924_Final.pdf. 2 https://www.epa.gov/regulations-emissionsvehicles-and-engines/final-rule-greenhouse-gasemissions-standards-heavy-duty. 3 https://afdc.energy.gov/laws/12473.
