Dear Board Memebers,

I am distress to read about some of the biases built into your
reports and actions. Specifically:

1. including refueling time as an criteria means that
   you have already chosen liquid fuels as the answer, no matter
   what the question is.

2.  your comments about battery electric vehicles are based on   

    your (wrong) personal assessments of the marketplace, rather 
    than reality.

3. The hybrid is getting all the perks right now, blocking many
    future incentives

My requests for your consideration against the above are:

1. if refueling time is to be a criteria, then equal weight needs

   to be given to fueling infrastructure. Example: hydrogen may   
  
   be able
   to put energy into a vehicle quickly, but there is no hydrogen
   distribution system presently in California or the country.
   Electricity is literally everywhere right now. 

2. the backlog of orders for Tesla Motors new car obviates the 
   "customer accceptance" comments of your report section 3.2. 
   Fundamentally, the customer has not been given a chance to
   own and operate an electric car. The "customer" can only 
   accept what the marketplace offers. Previous "lease only, and 
   then we take it back" products can't be taken seriously. 

3. Allowing hybrids special access to carpool lanes has already
   filled them up in some places like Virginia. How can you offer
   an incentive like that to ZEV owner, when the incentive will 
   be worthless because the HOV lanes will be in "hybrid 
   gridlock"?
