Passenger Automobile and Light Truck Greenhouse Gas Emission Regulations (SOR/2010-201)

Marginal note:Calculation of ZEV value

• 30.13 (1) A company must calculate, for the 2026 model year and subsequent model years, the ZEV value of its combined fleet using the following formula:

  (A ÷ B) + C

  where

  A

  is the total number of electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles in the combined fleet;

  B

  is the total number of automobiles in the combined fleet; and

  C

  is, with respect to plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, the lesser of the following results:

  • (a) the contribution of these plug-in hybrid electric vehicles to the actual performance of a company’s combined fleet with respect to zero-emission vehicles, calculated using the following formula:

    (0.15 × A + 0.75 × B + C + D + 0.75 × E + F + 0.75 × G + H) ÷ I

    where

    A

    is, for the 2026 model year, the total number of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in the combined fleet with an all-electric driving range of at least 35 km and not more than 49 km,

    B

    is, for the 2026 model year, the total number of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in the combined fleet equipped with less than seven seats with an all-electric driving range of at least 50 km and not more than 64 km,

    C

    is, for the 2026 model year, the total number of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in the combined fleet equipped with seven seats or more with an all-electric driving range of at least 50 km and not more than 64 km,

    D

    is, for the 2026 model year, the total number of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in the combined fleet with an all-electric driving range of at least 65 km,

    E

    is, for the 2027 model year, the total number of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in the combined fleet equipped with less than seven seats with an all-electric driving range of at least 50 km and not more than 79 km,

    F

    is, for the 2027 model year, the total number of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in the combined fleet equipped with seven seats or more with an all-electric driving range of at least 50 km and not more than 79 km,

    G

    is, for the 2028 model year, the total number of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in the combined fleet with an all-electric driving range of at least 50 km and not more than 79 km,

    H

    is, for the 2027 and subsequent model years, the total number of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in the combined fleet with an all-electric driving range of at least 80 km, and

    I

    is the total number of automobiles in the combined fleet, and

  • (b) the allowable portion of the contribution of these plug-in hybrid electric vehicles to the ZEV requirement for a company’s combined fleet, calculated using the following formula:

    A × B

    where

    A

    is the ZEV requirement for the model year in question, and

    B

    is the allowable portion of that ZEV requirement, set out in column 2 of the following table, for the model year set out in column 1:

  Item	Column 1	Column 2
  	Model year	Allowable portion of ZEV requirement
  1	2026	0.45
  2	2027	0.30
  3	2028 and subsequent	0.20

• Marginal note:All-electric driving range

  (2) For the purposes of subsection (1), the all-electric driving range is calculated using the following formula, rounded to the nearest whole number or, if the number is equidistant between two consecutive whole numbers, to the higher number:

  A × 0.7

  where

  A

  is the actual charge-depleting range in kilometres, determined in accordance with section 311(j)(4)(i) of Title 40, chapter I, subchapter Q, part 600, subpart D of the CFR, rounded to the nearest tenth of a unit or, if the number is equidistant between two consecutive tenths of a unit, to the higher tenth.
