This would lower the upfront and long term costs of purchasing an alternative fuel vehicle and bring fairness to the fees and state taxes paid when compared to a conventionally fueled vehicle (found on the inerwebs) http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140AB1077
