No. 1282

Introduced by Senator Becker
(Coauthors: Senators McNerney, Stern, and Wiener)
(Coauthor: Assembly Member Harabedian)

February 20, 2026

 An act to amend Section 44269 of the Health and Safety Code, and to add Sections 25010 and 25216.9 to the Public Resources Code, relating to transportation electrification. 

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 1282, as amended, Becker.
 Transportation electrification: grid-integrated vehicle technologies: standards.

(1)Existing law authorizes the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission (Energy Commission), in consultation with the State Air Resources Board and the Public Utilities Commission (PUC), to require any weight class of battery electric vehicle to be bidirectional capable, as defined, if it determines there is a sufficiently compelling beneficial bidirectional-capable use case to the battery electric vehicle operator and electrical grid, as specified. Existing law defines various terms related to bidirectional-capable use. 

This bill would expand various definitions related to bidirectional-capable use to include in their meanings vehicle types beyond battery electric, among other changes.

(2)Existing

Existing law requires the State Energy Commission, Resources Conservation and Development Commission (Energy Commission), in consultation with the PUC, Public Utilities Commission (PUC), to develop uptime recordkeeping and reporting standards for electric vehicle chargers
 and charging stations.

This bill would require the Energy Commission, on or before December 31, 2028, to conduct and publish on its internet website an assessment of, among other things, the electrical grid energy supply, reliability, and cost implications associated with the state’s transition to 100% renewable and zero-carbon energy sources and the target level of grid-integrated vehicle technology vehicle use and grid-integrated charging technology-enabled vehicle use necessary to address those needs, as provided. The bill would require the Energy Commission, on or before December 31, 2029, to adopt and implement standards, in consultation with the state board, State Air Resources Board, the PUC, and other relevant local and state agencies, for grid-integrated vehicle
 technology and associated grid-integrated charging technology of new vehicles, as provided. The bill would require that these standards establish requirements for on-road vehicles of any weight class sold within the state to incorporate grid-integrated vehicle technology and grid-integrated charging technology to achieve those targets, except as specified, and include specified provisions relating to, among other things, classes and types of grid-integrated vehicle technologies that can satisfy those requirements and alternative compliance mechanisms, as provided. The bill would exempt specified types of vehicles from these requirements adopted by the Energy Commission, including, among others, authorized emergency vehicles, as provided. The bill would require the Energy Commission, if it adopts requirements that would require the inclusion of grid-integrated charging technology or grid-integrated vehicle technology on a
 specific vehicle model or type within a weight class, to adopt a process for a manufacturer to apply for a waiver from that requirement
 if implementation is not feasible for the vehicle model.
