A-33.02, r. 1 - Regulation respecting the application of the Act to increase the number of zero-emission motor vehicles in Québec in order to reduce greenhouse gas and other pollutant emissions
Section 20
Disposition versions
20. The number of credits to which the sale or lease, by a motor vehicle manufacturer, of a new zero-emission motor vehicle gives entitlement is determined using the following equation:
Nc ZEV = (0.01 × R × 0.6214) + 0.50
where
Nc ZEV = the number of credits to which the sale or lease of a new zero-emission motor vehicle gives entitlement;
R = the electric range of the motor vehicle, in kilometres.
The electric range of a zero-emission motor vehicle is determined according to the standards and by using the following methods:
(a) the EPA Light-duty Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule (UDDS) method provided for in U.S. 40 CFR Appendix I to Part 86, used here to measure, for that type of vehicle, the distance it may travel without recharging the battery when travelling in the city without interruption;
(b) for 2014 to 2017 model years, the standards and other methods provided for in the document entitled California Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures for 2009 through 2017 Model Zero-Emission Vehicles and Hybrid Electric Vehicles, in the Passenger Car, Light-Duty Truck and Medium-Duty Vehicle Classes, published by the California Air Resources Board;
(c) for 2018 and subsequent model years, the standards and other methods provided for in the document entitled California Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures for 2018 and Subsequent Model Zero-Emission Vehicles and Hybrid Electric Vehicles, in the Passenger Car, Light-Duty Truck and Medium-Duty Vehicle Classes, published by the California Air Resources Board.
If the motor vehicle is registered in Québec after 1 September 2025, it gives entitlement to one credit.
