Subject | No EVs prior to 2012 |
Comment | As someone who has already paid the full price for a Tesla Roadster, I am quite angry that you have stated (p 29 of the ISOR) that you believe that manufacturers will not "produce any battery EVs prior to 2012." Tesla already has over 600 Roadster customers, is in active production, and will almost certainly deliver hundreds of cars by the end of 2009. These cars are full EVs by the definitions of the report. Please do not give in to the "big business" interests who have so obviously formed the basis of the prior changes to the ZEV program. Just because Tesla Motors is a "small" car company does not mean it is less deserving of your consideration, particularly since it alone is a California company. You have an opportunity now to make a difference in the next few years. Your charter is not to wait until the big car companies would make electric cars anyway; if that is your position then I fail to see how you are doing any good whatsoever and you might as well disband. Your aim should be to push them to do what Tesla is already doing, and far earlier than the dates proposed in the 2008 amendments. Thanks for your consideration. |
