California’s Advanced Clean Car II (ACC II) – zero-emission electric vehicle,
ACC,

▍SIRIM Certification

SIRIM is a former Malaysia standard and industry research institute. It is a company wholly-owned by Malaysian Minister of Finance Incorporated. It was consigned by Malaysian government to work as a national organization in charge of standard and quality management, and push the development of Malaysian industry and technology. SIRIM QAS, as the subsidiary company of SIRIM, is the only gateway for testing, inspection and certification in Malaysia.

At present rechargeable lithium batteries certification is still voluntary in Malaysia. But it is said to become mandatory in the future, and will be under management of KPDNHEP, the trading and consumer affair department of Malaysia.

▍Standard

Testing Standard: MS IEC 62133:2017, which refers to IEC 62133:2012

▍Why MCM?

● Established a good technical exchange and information exchange channel with SIRIM QAS who assigned a specialist to handle with MCM projects and inquiries only and to share the latest precisely information of this area.

● SIRIM QAS recognizes MCM testing data so that samples can be tested in MCM instead of delivering to Malaysia.

● To provide one-stop service for Malaysian certification of batteries, adapters and mobile phones.

California has always been a leader in promoting the development of clean fuel and zero-emission vehicles. From 1990, The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has introduced the “zero-emission vehicle” (ZEV) program to implement ZEV management of vehicles in California.In 2020, the governor of California signed a zero-emission executive order (N-79-20) by 2035, by which time all new cars, including buses and trucks, sold in California will need to be zero-emission vehicles. To help the state get on the path to carbon neutrality by 2045, the sales of internal combustion passenger vehicles shall be ended by 2035. To this end, CARB adopted the Advanced Clean Cars II in 2022.
This time the editor will explain this regulation in the form of Q&A.Zero-emission vehicles include pure electric vehicles (EV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV). Among them, PHEV must have an electric range of at least 50 miles.Yes. California only requires that all new cars sold in 2035 and beyond be zero-emissions vehicles, including pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and fuel cell vehicles. Gasoline cars can still be driven in California, registered with the California Department of Motor Vehicles, and sold to owners as used cars.Durability needs to meet 10 years/150,000 miles (250,000km).In 2026-2030: Guarantee that 70% of vehicles reach 70% of certified all-electric range.After 2030: all vehicles reach 80% of the all-electric range
