Manufacturer 2017 ZEV Credit Balances and Transfers

In complying with the ZEV Regulation, Large and Intermediate Volume manufacturers supply vehicles in Vermont which generate credits based on vehicle type. Small Volume manufacturers without a formal obligation to supply vehicles may also earn credits that may be banked or sold. The table below lists credit balances as of October 1, 2018 generated since the start of Vermont’s ZEV program in 2000, although requirements for placements began only in 2007. The credits are in units of grams per mile Non-Methane Organic Gases (g/mi NMOG) converted to ZEV Credits.  

Note: in various Model Years manufacturers may have earned credits in Vermont for placements in other States adopting the California Low Emission/Zero Emission Vehicle Regulations through a mechanism known as “Travel”, meant to foster technology development without placing undue burden upon manufacturers.

[1] Traveled Credits, May 2018.

[2] Through Model Year 2014, ZEV credits were recorded as grams per mile of NMOG, reflecting greater value for earlier year placements, due to a larger multiplier from a numerically declining annual fleet average NMOG requirement.  Starting in 2015, to reflect program changes, values are converted to ZEV Credits.  These current totals can be converted back to g/mi NMOG by multiplying by .035.
