I am writing to say that the new rules about having to purchase
a new electric vehicle are unfeasible and uninformed. I am a port
driver and can barley make ends meet. I live pay check to pay
check, I will not buy an elective truck because I can not afford
one. Fuel prices are through the roof, we all know there isn't
enough electricity to power so many electric vehicles, specially
big rig vehicles. We already have the DEF systems on our trucks.
You are pushing an idea way too soon. We understand about going
electric but what you are proposing is too soon. You will put not
only many drivers in poverty but the state of California in
jeopardy. From unemployed people to the lack of electricity. Prices
are already crazy expensive and now your expecting people to go out
and buy new electric trucks, this will not happen. Also the current
electric trucks that are out there can not keep enough charge to do
the work that is required in one shift. Are you going to make work
days 2 to 4 hours a day? Please inform yourselves on this topic.
You are playing with many many peoples lives.
Thank you
Juan Carlos Mariscal
