	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 898, as introduced, Ting. Zero-emission vehicles:

zero-emission vehicle infrastructure for the purpose of implementing

competitive grant process that includes a public bidding process.
   This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact
subsequent legislation that would reduce motor vehicle emissions
through the construction of infrastructure to charge zero-emission
electric vehicles, with the goal of expanding the travel range of
zero-emission electric vehicles by January 2015 pursuant to a
specified executive order.
