The document discusses efforts by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) to promote the adoption of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) in order to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions and meet federal air quality standards. AQMD provides funding incentives for PEV infrastructure and technology demonstrations. It has installed electric vehicle charging stations and demonstrated various PEV models including electric cars, buses, and trucks. AQMD is working with regional partners on public outreach and planning to expand PEV adoption and the supporting charging network.

4. 1 Preliminary emissions estimates based on data updated from 2007 AQMP where available: CARB 2010 emissions projections for trucks and off-road equipment; IMO Tier 1 – 3 for ocean vessels; EPA 2008 rule for locomotives; 2007 AQMP short-term measures for other categories. Range for oceangoing vessels (20 -52) based on varying deployment assumptions for IMO Tier 2 and 3 vessels and range of ports’ cargo forecasts. 2. 1997 80 ppb federal ambient ozone standard.
