Hello Members of CARB:

I am writing to urge you to adopt the strongest possible
amendments to the ZEV regulations.

I am the owner of a solar-powered RAV4-EV. I haven't pumped
gasoline in five years!

Everywhere I go, people stop me and ask where they can get a car
like mine. They are so frustrated when I tell them that Toyota
only sold them for a few months. 

My personal experience is that there is HUGE demand for EVs,
especially now that the state of California is encouraging
development of home solar systems that can power them.

Please do everything you can to encourage the sale of electric
vehicles and plug-in hybrids in California.  My children are
counting on your strong actions to help to reduce gobal warming
emmissions and reliance on foreign sources of energy. 
Solar-powered electric vehicles like mine can make a significant
contribution toward that goal -- if you make the auto-makers sell
them.

Thank you for doing the right thing.
