On October 24, 2013, the governors of California, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York,
Oregon, Rhode Island, and Vermont signed a
memorandum of understanding (MOU) committing
to coordinated action to ensure the successful
implementation of their state zero-emission vehicle
(ZEV) programs. ZEVs include pure battery electric
vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles
(PHEVs), and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles
(FCEVs). Collectively these states are committed
to having at least 3.3 million ZEVs operating on
their roadways by 2025. The MOU identifies joint
cooperative actions the signatory states will
undertake and additional actions that individual jurisdictions are
considering to build a robust market for ZEVs.
