Dear CARB,

    I write today to ask that the California Air Resources Board 
    not weaken the current Zero Emission Vehicle regulations. 
    Zero emission vehicles not only reduce air pollution, but help

    in the fight against global warming. In fact, now is the time
to 
    strengthen, not weaken, these requirements.

    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.

Sincerely,
branwen
