CARB,

I am an electrical engineer and I would like to add my voice to
the chorus of voices from the engineering community and state
unequivically that EVs and PHEVs are economically and
environmentally far superior to standard ICE vehicles. The key to
understanding the advantage is the simple fact that ICE vehicles
are only about 15% efficient at converting gasoline into motion
while electric motor vehicles are about 90% efficient at
converting electricity into motion.

The major auto manufacturers oppose and delay EV and PHEV
introduction because they are so reliable and long-lived (easily
over a MILLION mile life-span) that long-term profits are
reduced.

The public interest must take priority over corporate interests.
Manufacturers must be forced to offer EVs or they will simply
continue their delaying tactics.

The major auto manufacturers have been lying about NiMH battery
technology. Chevron/Cobasys is sequestering large-format NiMH
technology and should be exposed as the corporate criminals they
really are. For more info read:
