Climate Action CaliforniaThe California Special Districts Association recently tweeted at the California Air Resources Board and made a bizarre choice to use an AI-generated image. The vehicles in the picture don't exist in real life — but heavy-duty work EVs do, and we think California should keep moving ahead with the transition away from fossil-fuel vehicles.

"A pretty small addition of cars at the ZIP code level led to a decline in air pollution," said Sandrah Eckel, a public health professor at the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine and lead author of the study. "It's remarkable."
The headline number is modest but measurable: for every 200 #ZEV added in a neighborhood, #NO2 levels fell by about 1.1% between 2019 and 2023.

comment on electric trucks.
Notes from Port of Long Beach, CA:
- $27.5 million for battery-electric truck projects/programs ➡️ 540 battery trucks #BEV
- $1.45 million so far to hydrogen fuel cell electric truck programs/projects ➡️ 100 fuel cell trucks #FCEV
#ZEV scoring so far: $50.9K/#BEV vs $14.5K/#FCEV
@icanbob
I think of range-extended vehicles as those that perhaps double the range of the #BEV in a (hopefully) #ZEV. IOW, total energy output from the engine/fuel cell ≈ to stored battery energy. That is true for many of the range extenders to-date, including the ICE range extenders.
The battery in a #FCEV system is primarily for starting the vehicle, regenerative braking & acceleration. FCEV battery capacity is a small fraction of the energy contained in the H2 gas.
#electricautonomy keeps ignoring hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles #FCEV as important Zero Emissions Vehicles #ZEV, & focuses on #EV.
BUT New Flyer's new Winnipeg facility will make BOTH #H2 fueled Xcelsior CHARGE FC AND battery electric buses.
