Abstract—After surviving industry litigation, California keeps the leading pace to carry on Zero Emission Vehicle program. Even EPA also finds that the California program meets legal requirements regarding the protectiveness of public health and welfare as well as technological feasibility. California’s regulatory structure play a key role to meet the program requirements, ensuring that state consumers receive cleaner energy, efficient and a variety of technologies, and modeling to work collaboratively with both public and private partners. Comparing the global regulatory landscape of EV regulatory methodology with California model, we may consider that regulatory and legal strategies are significant tool to meet the goal of reduce GHGs emission.
