Existing law requires the State Air Resources Board, on or before June 30, 2014, and until January 1, 2024, to annually aggregate and make available specified information regarding hydrogen-fueled vehicles and, based on that information, evaluate the need for additional publicly available hydrogen-fueling stations, as specified, and report those findings to the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission. Existing law requires the commission to allocate $20,000,000 annually to fund the number of publicly available hydrogen-fueling stations identified by the state board, not to exceed 20% of the moneys appropriated by the Legislature from the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Fund, until there are at least 100 publicly available hydrogen-fueling stations in operation in the state. Existing law requires the commission and the state board, on an annual basis, to jointly review and report progress toward establishing a hydrogen-fueling network that provides the coverage and capacity to fuel vehicles requiring hydrogen fuel that are being placed into operation in the state. Existing law requires the commission and the state board to consider certain information while conducting this review and determine the remaining cost and timing to establish a network of 100 publicly available hydrogen-fueling stations in operation in the state and whether funding from the Clean Transportation Program remains necessary to achieve this goal. This bill would delete the requirement that the state board aggregate and make available specified information and report to the commission on or before June 30, 2014. The bill would instead require the state board, on or before June 30, 2023, and annually thereafter, to determine the number of publicly available hydrogen-fueling stations that are necessary to provide a publicly available hydrogen-fueling station network, taking into consideration the state board's 2020 Mobile Source Strategy and specified goals, recommendations, and data. The bill would delete the requirement that the commission allocate $20,000,000 annually to fund the number of publicly available hydrogen-fueling stations identified by the state board. The bill would instead require the commission to annually allocate from the moneys annually appropriated by the Legislature from the fund an amount determined appropriate by the commission to achieve the goal established by the state board of providing a publicly available hydrogen-fueling station network and to build the number of electric vehicle or "EV" charging stations estimated by the commission its biennial statewide assessment of electric vehicle charging infrastructure, as provided. The bill would require the commission to ensure that certain requirements are met regarding expenditures of the moneys allocated by the commission. The bill would require the commission and the state board, as part of their annual joint review and report, to determine the remaining cost and timing to establish a network of 200 statewide publicly available hydrogen-fueling stations, instead of 100 stations.
