Summary

Existing law creates the Clean Transportation Program, administered by the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission, to provide, among other things, competitive grants and revolving loans to specified entities for those entities to develop and deploy innovative technologies that transform California's fuel and vehicle types to help attain the state's climate change policies. Under existing law, a project, as defined, that develops in-state production of raw materials and the manufacturing supply chain for zero-emission vehicle components is eligible to receive funding under that program. As part of that program, the commission has awarded grant moneys through a zero-emission vehicle battery manufacturing block grant to promote in-state battery manufacturing for zero-emission vehicles and related infrastructure. This bill would require the commission, or an entity it contracts with, to administer its Zero-Emission Vehicle Battery Manufacturing Block Grant Program, and would impose eligibility, application scoring, workforce, and reporting requirements on the program. The bill would authorize the commission, or an entity it contracts with, to adopt procedures and criteria to supplement these requirements.
