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. The Cycle 4 plan was approved in January 2024 and directs $200 million to public charging infrastructure, charger reliability upgrades, and ZEV education, awareness, and access activities.
