| Comment | Dear CARB,
As each day goes on global warming is becoming a more serious
threat. Now is the time to strengthen, not weaken, the current
Zero Emission Vehicle regulations.
As a potential car purchaser, I am concerned about pollution as
well as the high price of gasoline. I would very much like to have
the option of purchasing a zero emission vehicle and reducing my
own impact in these areas. This is unlikely to come to pass,
though, if automakers are only required to make 150 ZEV vehicles
per year.
Finally, I fully support the staff's proposal to significantly
increase the number of plug-in hybrids that must be produced and
appreciate staff's vision in including these cars in the ZEV
requirements. A plug-in hybrid that has an all-electric range, but
that also runs on gasoline when the battery is empty, is a great
option for consumers like me.
Thank you for your time and please keep our future in mind.
