| 1. | A Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) is an all-electric vehicle using one or more batteries to store the electrical energy that powers the motor and is charged by plugging the vehicle in to an electric power source. A Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) is a vehicle that uses one or more batteries to power an electric motor; uses another fuel, such as gasoline or diesel, to power an internal combustion engine or other propulsion source; and is charged by plugging the vehicle in to an electric power source. A Hydrogen Powered Vehicle, also known as a fuel cell electric vehicle, is a vehicle that uses a fuel cell to convert hydrogen to electricity to power an electric motor. |
| 2. | We noticed lower numbers for March 2020 - February 2021. This is likely due to a decrease in vehicle activities due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. |
| 3. | Electric Range is no longer maintained for Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) because new BEVs have an electric range of 30 miles or more. Zero (0) will be entered where the electric range has not been researched. |
| 4. | '2019 HB 2042 Clean Alternative Fuel Vehicle (CAFV) Eligibility' will contain 'HB 2042 Eligibility Requirements not met' or 'Clean Alternative Fuel Vehicle'. The reasons why eligibility requirements were not met were removed from this field. 'Meets 2019 HB 2042 Battery Range Requirement', 'Meets 2019 HB 2042 Purchase Date Requirement', 'Meets 2019 HB 2042 Sale Price/Value Requirement' provide further detail about why eligibility requirements were not met. The contents of these fields have been modified to make these fields clearer. |
