Pub. Resources Code, § 25328

(a) In order to achieve the state’s goal of reaching 100 percent zero-emission vehicles for new passenger vehicles sales by 2035 and for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles everywhere feasible by 2045, it is the intent of the Legislature to advance zero-emission infrastructure deployment.

(b) The commission, in collaboration with the State Air Resources Board, the Public Utilities Commission, and other relevant stakeholders, shall do both of the following:

(1) Annually gather entities’ fleet data from state agencies that already collect fleet data, including, but not limited to, data collected by the State Air Resources Board pursuant to its zero-emission vehicle regulations, and vehicle registration data collected by the Department of Motor Vehicles, to the extent that such data is collected by state agencies at the time. The data collected from state agencies pursuant to this paragraph shall encompass fleet data for on-road and off-road vehicles in the medium- and heavy-duty sectors of only those entities that are subject to the regulations of the State Air Resources Board, and shall include, but not be limited to, all of the following data:

(A) The total vehicle fleet or equipment size and composition, including each vehicle’s fuel type, including battery electric, plug-in hybrid, or fuel cell.

(B) The physical address of the fleet’s location.

(C) Information that would allow the electrical corporation or local publicly owned electric utility to estimate the total anticipated charging capacity at each fleet location.

(2) Enter into data sharing agreements with state agencies, as necessary, to facilitate the gathering of data pursuant to this section.

(c) The commission shall share the data gathered pursuant to subdivision (b) with electrical corporations and local publicly owned electric utilities to help inform electrical grid planning efforts.

(d) For data shared pursuant to subdivision (c), an electrical corporation or local publicly owned utility shall not disclose information protected pursuant to Sections 8380 and 8381 of the Public Utilities Code.

(e) For data shared pursuant to subdivision (c), an electrical corporation or local publicly owned utility shall not disclose the data to third parties for any purpose.

(f) The commission’s data collection pursuant to this section is not intended to create any new or duplicate reporting requirements on behalf of fleet operators.
