| Comment | Dear Chairwoman Nichols, I would really like to have the option of driving an affordable electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle. I believe that the auto industry is blind to the demand and calcified in it's ways. It is up to CARB to give them the kick in the pants they need. Please strengthen the ZEV Program. Specifically, I ask that CARB require at least the full 25,000 ZEVs that automakers had promised for 2012-2014. Please create a separate requirement for plug-in hybrids that lets them replace the dirtiest vehicles in CARB's regulations, rather than the cleanest ZEVs. And finally, create incentives for plug-in hybrids that have the most on-board electricity storage. We need cleaner alternatives and ZEV's and plug-in hybrids can be made today to offer that alternative. CARB needs to push automakers out of their old world thinking. Thank You, Charles Sowers |
