Subject | Require 2,500 ZEVs and save the electric car |
Comment | Dear Chair Nichols, I am in favor of the governor's agenda to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 25% by 2020. The most promising way to reach this goal is to give consumers the choice to buy Zero-Emission Vehicles (ZEVs) It is my understanding that the California Air Resources Board (CARB) may reduce the number of ZEVs required of automakers by 90%, settling for only 2,500 from 2012-2014. This is very disappointing. I am respectfully requesting that the CARB take the following steps: 1. Require the full 25,000 ZEVs that automakers had promised for 2012-2014, and 2. Create a separate requirement for plug-in hybrids that lets them replace the dirtiest vehicles in CARB's regulations, rather than the cleanest ZEVs. I am planning to purchase a plug in hybrid as soon as they become available. Choice for consumers means cleaner air for everyone. Thanks for your consideration, Roy Kniveton |
