Subject: The need for a sustainable battery approach
Comment:
For last 30 years, ARB has been promoting battery technology as a means to reach zero-emission goals. As a scientist who previously worked at South Coast AQMD, and was directly involved in launching the battery technology by providing key technical materials to ARB for its 1990 ZEV regulation, and later under Dr. Alan Lloyd, demonstrated the feasibility of hydrogen fuel cells in mid -90s, I am really concerned. ARB is not addressing the significant battery waste pollution generated by the huge number of battery vehicles being proposed. AB 617 communities will be directly impacted - adversely. These concerns are addressed in more detail in the attachment. To be sustainable, ARB should identify non-cobalt sustainable battery chemistries and be more explicit in its support for hydrogen fuel cells.
