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.
