Comment | Dear CARB, I hope the California Air Resources Board will not weaken the current Zero Emission Vehicle regulations. Zero emission vehicles reduce air pollution,and help fight global warming. Now is the time to strengthen, not weaken, these requirements. As a potential car purchaser (I need to replace my 2000 wagon even though it has less than 60,000 miles), I amworried about pollution and the high price of gasoline. I want to have the option of purchasing a zero emission vehicle and reducing my own impact in these areas. This is unlikely to come to pass, though, if automakers are only required to make 150 ZEV vehicles per year. Finally, I fully support the staff's proposal to significantly increase the number of plug-in hybrids that must be produced and appreciate staff's vision in including these cars in the ZEV requirements. A plug-in hybrid that has an all-electric range, but that also runs on gasoline when the battery is empty, is a great option for consumers like me. |
