Subject | Comment on Zev2008 |
Comment | I plead for three things. 1. Please hold car makers to their 2003 promise to deliver 25,000 vehicles starting in 2012. Don't allow your staff to water it down 90%. 2. Create a separate category for plug in hybrids (PIH) with 40 mile ZEV range. I was shocked at EVS-20 to hear PIHs are treated under the worst polution mode and not their best mode. The rationale was "it is not a pure ZEV" -- ideology was more important than being tech neutral. One's ideology is another's idiot logic. Fix it. 3. Reduce the 10 year battery warranty to 5 years but prorated over 10 years. Congratulations, you have yet another way to kill the ZEV. If you don't do these things, it will be clear that all the CARB and its staff have learned from the movie, Who Killed the Electric Car, is "how easy it is to get away wiith it" again.
