Subject | We need a stronger ZEV not weaker |
Comment | In 2002 I replaced the Prius that I drove with all electric RAV4-EV. I promised that I would not buy another vehicle that was not cleaner and better than the one before it. We are two car family and our second car is Prius. It's now 2007, I've logged over 54,000 miles in my RAV4-EV. Should something unfortunate happen to my EV there is nothing that I can buy today that is better. There is no denying that the technology existed then and it certainly exists today. Our Prius, a good as it is, still can't be powered by the solar panels that are on roof our house. I'm still waiting for car that has plug on it to replace that car. Bring back the original ZEV mandate, level the playing field for cleaner vehicles like battery electric vehicles and plug-in HEVs. Fossil powered vehicles have had an unfair advantage, they are not penalized for the air pollution that they cause compared to ZEVs. Don't pick the technology, remove the preference for fuel cell vehicles. If fuel cells are than answer then they will emerge as the winner in fair contest. Arnold de Leon |
