Option to bank early action credits
Automakers wanting to bank early action credits must choose one of the following options by January 1, 2021*:
- Option 1: A manufacturer may meet no more than 36 percent of its combined 2023-2025 model year ZEV credit obligation using credits per Regulation 20, Part C, Section V.B.
- Option 2:
- A manufacturer may meet no more than 23 percent of its combined 2023-2025 model year ZEV credit obligation using credits per Regulation 20, Part C, Section V.B.
- Early ZEV Credits: A manufacturer may earn credits for 2021 and 2022 model year TZEVs and ZEVs, including BEVXs and FCEVs, produced and delivered for sale in Colorado.
- A manufacturer may meet no more than 23 percent of its combined 2023-2025 model year ZEV credit obligation using credits per Regulation 20, Part C, Section V.B.
Please send your information to CDPHE by January 1, 2021, using one of the following methods:
- Complete the Early Action Credit Banking Option form;
or
- Send an email with your first and last name, work title, automaker you represent, and choosing Option 1 or 2 to CDPHE_colevzev@state.co.us.
Automakers who do not choose one of these options by January 1, 2021, will automatically be assigned Option 1.
ZEV reporting requirements
Automakers must submit a ZEV sales report that identifies the necessary delivery and placement data of all vehicles generating ZEV credits. Additional information about this requirement is available in Regulation 20, Part C, Section V.D.
Please submit your ZEV sales report to CDPHE directly by August 31 of the calendar year following the close of the model year. ZEV Sales reports from model year 2023, for example, are due by August 31, 2024.
If you choose Option 2 to bank early action credits, then you must also submit sales reports for 2021 (due August 31, 2022) and 2022 (due August 31, 2023).
Due to the limitation on how proportional credits can be used to meet ZEV sales requirements for model years 2023 through 2025, Colorado will use its own system for banking ZEV credits.
Submit your ZEV sales report through one of the following methods:
- Colorado ZEV Sales Data Reporting Form
- Download and complete this spreadsheet, and then send it to CDPHE_colevzev@state.co.us.
