Big, big, big (did I mention big?) news out today concerning the VW rollout. Here is a link to the CARB response to VW's revised submittal:

Let me share with you the only part that you really need to see, well, two parts...
"CARB staff have reviewed the Final Plan, and
have determined that it meets the requirements of the Consent Decree, inclusive of the February 10, 2017, Guidance Document and May 24, 2017, Request for Supplement letter, and June 27, 2017, legislation.
CARB staff recommends that the Board approve the Final Plan, allowing Electrify America to begin its California investments in ZEV refueling infrastructure, public awareness, and expanded access."
So it is going to be full speed ahead, very shortly. This is from the e-mail I received with the link shown above:
"Pursuant to Senate Bill 92, the board will act on the Plan at a public Board hearing on July 27, 2017. At the hearing, CARB staff will summarize the Plan and will provide an assessment of how well it aligns with the prescribed requirements."
Looks like the go ahead may come as soon as this coming Thursday, 7-27-17.
7-27-17: CARB approves $200,000,000 in VW spending in California
7-28-17: Tesla Model 3s start being delivered to customers.
