SubjectIncentives: yes to BEVs and PHEVs; no to FCVs
Comment
Please continue and/or increase planned incentives for BEV (Battery
Electric Vehicle) and PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle)
production. Incentives should include minimum percentages of
vehicles per year, tax credits for consumers, and expanding the
HOV lane decal program (while congestion allows). Incentives
should apply in this order of priority: BEVs, PHEVs, then strong
(non-plug-in) hybrid vehicles.

Please discontinue incentives for FCV (Fuel Cell Vehicle)
production. Production and distribution of fuel for the fuel cells
is anticipated to be more costly than producing and distributing
electricity through our existing infrastructure.

Battery technology for BEVs and PHEVs is increasing in capacity
and life expectancy vs. cost, size and weight, and will likely
improve at an accelerated rate with greater demand.
