As part of this <br /> commitment, the City has been actively expanding electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure to <br /> support both fleet electrification and comply with State requirements. The City's EV <br /> infrastructure expansion is driven in part by compliance requirements under the <br /> California Air Resources Board (CARB) Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) regulation, which <br /> took effect January 1, 2024. As a local government fleet operator, 50% of the City's <br /> annual vehicle purchases from calendar year 2024 through 2026 must be zero-emission <br /> vehicles (ZEV), increasing to 100% ZEV purchases beginning January 1, 2027. <br /> City Council 20 - 1 5/5/2026 <br />
