Re:  ACF Regulation

I am an asthma patient who is concerned about air quality. 
However, I am also a retired Firefighter/EMT and Community Service
Officer with some relevant knowledge about fleet vehicle management
and our power grid.  I maintain friendships of people who are
currently fleet managers both private and public.  I also have
friends who work in various fields of electrical energy production,
distribution, storage, and research.  And I live in an area of
California that frequently has power outages caused by public
safety shutdowns, high winds, storms, and fires.  I do not believe
that the goals and timelines in this regulation are  achievable,
advisable, or safe.  

No amount of wishing for the goals and timelines mandated in this
regulation will make them achievable.  This regulation will have
severe detrimental consequences for our state and country.  The
safety of our residents will be harmed by this regulation.

I do believe that EV make sense for some applications.  IF our
electrical grid can become much more robust and stable, then the
roles of EV can increase.  Please, for the good of our country, do
NOT mandate something that is not achievable within the deadlines
of this regulation.

I oppose this regulation and ask that you do not approve this
regulation.

Sincerely,
