Comment
I understand that in a few days you will be looking at the
commitments made to increase the number of ZEVs on the road in
California in 2012. I urge you to make this number as high as
possible, and at the same time require hybrid gas/electric
vehicles to be plug-in rechargeable. Currently there are no
production hybrid cars made by a major manufacturer that does not
get all of its power from gasoline. None. In fact, the 2008 Toyota
Prius gets the same gas mileage as a 1989 Geo Metro (46MPG
combined.)I do not consider this a move forward.
Currently, we as a nation are borrowing roughly $1 Billion EACH
DAY to buy oil. This is money we could be using for something else
more important. California should be leading the country in this
regard, and choosing to require ZEVs is the main way of doing
this.
Please stand firm in the commitment to increase ZEV sales in
California.
Thank you for your time.
