Comment | To whom it may concern, Stop lying to us, and strengthen the ZEV mandate. It must be not only adhered to, but accelerated. Since we know that EVs work, the 2015 numbers must be moved up. GM now admits that it will produce an EV (plus range-extender) in 2010: there should be no questioning that it must be forced to make that EV available for sale, with no numerical "quota" limiting production or allowing them to stop. No leasing of batteries, no "boomerang" leases, let GM determine the technology. Abandon the "ZEV credits" mistake. Rather than quotas, the simple thing is to just make proven EVs available for sale. Let the manufacturers figure out what batteries; we know that NiMH works, so let them figure out how to get permission from Chevron; we know that lead-acid works, so let them find the right Panasonic battery; we hope that lithium will work, so let them do research while they produce regular, existing plug-in EVs. Please do this Now. Carlton W. Terry |
