California and the seven other states that have adopted its zero-emission objectives say they will reveal a specific plan in six months to put 3.3 million ultra-low and emission-free vehicles on their roads by 2025.

The states, in addition to California, are Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island and Vermont.

Last month the group signed a nonbinding agreement to buy super-clean vehicles, give such cars access to carpool lanes, encourage the installation of charging and hydrogen fueling stations, and cut overnight electrical rates.

So far the states haven't explained how the initiatives will be funded and managed.
