I am disappointed to hear that CARB is about to weaken the ZEV
mandate with regard to mandates for electric vehicles.  I urge you
to greatly strengthen the electric vehicle portion of the ZEV
mandate for 2008.

I drive an all electric Chevy S10 pickup that was part of the
original electric vehicle ZEV mandate.  I love the truck, it works
flawlessly and was made in 1998.  I keep hearing that the
automakers can't make electric vehicles that people want.  I hear
that the batteries are not ready.  My truck, made by Chevy in the
factory back in 1998 with nickel metal hydride batteries, is proof
that there is hope and that change is possible.

If CARB is willing to have some guts and help be a sponsor of
change, then we will move forward with electric vehicles.  Change
will happen.  It will be interesting to see who will be the
ultimate authors of that change to EVs, this board, or a future
one more in tune with the scientists, engineers, and people of
California.  I hope this board will act in a very positive EV way.
