 As Zero Emission Vehicles approach commercialization\, energy supply infra
 structure needs to be built in tandem if large stranded asset costs are to
  be avoided.  Deploying hydrogen fuel cell\, electric drive hybrid vehicl
 es will require considerable investment in fueling equipment to realize th
 eir full potential to eliminate oil consumption and emissions\, while crea
 ting many new jobs.  Devising solutions is a significant economic challen
 ge.  The importance of these factors was anticipated in the Energy Policy
  Act of 2005\, Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007\, and the Amer
 ican Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009.  Various federal and state bu
 dgets since the mid-1990s have funded considerable research\, development 
 and demonstration.  Industry and governments have invested more than $8B 
 in RD&amp\;D\, and markets are within reach. \nCalifornia and 14 other st
 ates are implementing plans to require ZEVs soon.  GM\, Toyota\, Honda\, 
 Daimler\, Ford\, Hyundai/KIA\, and Nissan-Renault have all announced comme
 rcial rollouts.  This briefing will explore the relative costs and techni
 cal challenges facing energy supplies for light duty ZEVs\, and look towar
 ds their extensive deployment as cost-effective solutions evolve.  There 
 will be preliminary remarks from several Members of Congress.  We expect 
 a lively discussion.
