Volkswagen (VW) Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Investment Plan

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) approved the VW California ZEV Investment Plan. As required by the October 2016 2.0-Liter Partial Consent Decree, VW must invest $800 million over ten years to support the increased adoption of ZEV technology in California. VW will submit a series of four 30-month cycle ZEV investment plans to CARB for approval. CARB approved the Cycle 3 plan, which covered January 2022 through June 2024. The Cycle 3 plan included major investments in metropolitan, highway, heavy-duty, and transit ZEV infrastructure; ZEV education, awareness, access, and marketing; and specific ZEV investments in Wilmington, Long Beach. VW submitted its Cycle 4 plan in January 2024, and focuses on electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, EV charger utilization, and ZEV adoption.
