An Act relative to the sale of zero-emission vehicles

This bill requires Massachusetts to annually review vehicle manufacturers' compliance with zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) sales targets starting January 1, 2025. It allows the Department of Environmental Protection to delay ZEV requirements for a model year if manufacturers (collectively representing 70% of the market) miss annual goals or if sufficient public charging infrastructure is unavailable. The bill also mandates that all new medium- and heavy-duty trucks purchased or leased by the Commonwealth must be zero-emission vehicles starting July 1, 2025, with full fleet transition required by June 30, 2035. Exceptions are permitted if suitable zero-emission trucks aren't available or charging infrastructure can't support them, and annual progress reports must be submitted to state legislators.
