LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
Digest Key
Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NOBill Text
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a)California was the first state to adopt an energy storage procurement mandate to assist renewable energy integration and electrical grid reliability.
(b)Batteries in electric vehicles are storage resources and have the potential to be deployed to assist in renewable energy integration and electrical grid reliability and during emergencies, including power outages.
(c)Wildfires, heatwaves, and other climate change-fueled extreme weather events pose an
increasing threat to the reliability of California’s electrical grid.
(d)One response to power outages in California has been to rely on fossil-fueled backup generators, which contribute to the emissions of greenhouse gases and local air pollution.
(e)Development of bidirectional electric vehicle infrastructure will provide access to a significant reserve of dispatchable electricity that will help ensure continuous electrical service for California. In 2022, the State Air Resources Board adopted the Advanced Clean Cars II rule that requires 100 percent of vehicle sales to be electric vehicles by
2035 and, in 2020, the State Air Resources Board adopted the Advanced Clean Truck rule that requires increasing percentages of electric vehicle sales starting in 2024. These electric vehicles could provide critical electricity to the electrical grid if enabled to do so.
(f)As California builds out electric vehicle service equipment in order to meet the charging needs of an anticipated 8,000,000 electric vehicles by 2030, there is a unique opportunity to leverage significant federal, state, and private sector investments in electric vehicles and electric vehicle service equipment to ensure they are bidirectionally capable.
(g)Peak electricity demand is the primary driver behind the use of fossil fuel peaker powerplants, the emissions of which disproportionately impact disadvantaged
communities.
(h)The charging cycle of bidirectional-capable electric vehicles can be scheduled away from peak demand times to periods with excess and lower cost renewable electricity generation, allowing the dispatchable energy capacity of bidirectional-capable electric vehicles to serve as an alternative to fossil fuel peaker powerplants, mitigating the air pollution and public health impacts on disadvantaged communities.
(i)Supporting market scalability of bidirectional charging has the potential to lower electricity costs in California and maximize reliability and resilience benefits to consumers and the electrical grid, especially when bidirectional-capable electric vehicles are colocated with distributed onsite energy resources.
SEC. 2.SECTION 1.
Chapter 8.8 (commencing with Section 44269) is added to Part 5 of Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code, to read:CHAPTER 8.8. Electric Vehicles
44269.
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
(6)
(7)“Electric vehicle” means a battery electric or hybrid vehicle that uses an electric battery and electric motor for mobility.
(8)
(9)
(10)“Light-duty motor vehicle” has the same meaning as defined in Section 2211 of Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations.
(b)The definitions provided in this section may be modified or updated pursuant to Section 44269.3.
44269.1.
(a) The commission, in consultation with the(a)On or before December 31, 2026, the board, in consultation with the commission and the Public Utilities Commission, shall, by regulation, modify the definition of “bidirectional capable” for electric vehicles in order to specify nonproprietary technical interoperability requirements to support electrical grid reliability and resilience by providing emergency backup electricity or electrical grid services to comply with this chapter. As part of that modified definition, at the time of sale, all necessary electric vehicle components, and their operational parameters, shall be required to support and enable bidirectional capability for purposes of compliance with this chapter.
(b)The board may periodically update the definition of “bidirectional capable” and other definitions, including those provided in Section 44269, to ensure the definitions align with current technologies in bidirectional charging and account for ongoing innovation.
(c)On or before December 31, 2026, the board, in consultation with the commission and the Public Utilities Commission, shall, by regulation, modify and further clarify the definition of “beneficial bidirectional-capable use case” for electric vehicles in order to provide additional guidance for determining which electric vehicles are required to comply with Section 44269.4.
44269.3.
The board may periodically update the definitions provided in Section 44269 to ensure the definitions align with current technologies in bidirectional charging and account for ongoing innovation.44269.4.
