Comment | Please bring back the ZEV to its original intent and numbers. Hybrids are good, but they still pollute & are very complicated. Give Californians the option to drive completely pollution free. Remember, the auto industry never would have added seat belts if it had not been for concerned citizens. Battery & capacitor technology are fast approaching the range capabilities of the ICE based automobile. If you were starting out with both technologies, which is simpler & which offers more for the future. Just think how incredibly complicated the ICE is. We lost valuable time when the ZEV initiative was weakened in 2003. There are many, many of us who are willing to pay more in order to bring back the fully electric vehicle. I wanted to buy the EV1 in 2000, but was lied to by the dealers selling them. They said they were not building them anymore. There were thousands more like me. There is absolutely no reason the car companies could not make a fully electric vehicle in the quantities that were built into the original California ZEV plan. The people are out there ready to buy. This time around, I believe the car manufacturers will "see the light". Thank you. Gerald Shoudt Seal Beach, CA |
