| Comment | Several states (Oregon, Montana, Washington) have adopted MSV
(Medium Speed Vehicle) regulations permitting PURE ELECTRIC
VEHICLES to attain maximum speed of 35 MPH and otherwise conform
to FMVSS #500 (LSV).
We are asking that MSV "definition" is included in the proposed
ZEV regulations, so that further steps to include it in California
Vehicle Code and also get new class (MSV) established on a Federal
level by NHTSA can be undertaken.
CITY MSVs, capable of 35-MPH top speed in typical traffic would be
far more attractive to California consumers as second and/or third
in family vehicles.
Sincerely,
Richard DeLoach
