I am extremely disappointed by these proposed standards as they are
woefully inadequate if they are meant to tackle California's
contributions to climate change and air pollution. Targets that low
would allow industry to be far too slow (like they are today) in
terms of electric vehicle development when the entire world is in
the midst of a combined climate-change/air-pollution pandemic - not
to mention COVID-19.  For a state that suffers disproportionately
from air pollution, those sorts of numbers are simply unacceptable
and essentially condemn your citizens to decades more of having to
breathe toxic air.

I strongly urge the board to dramatically increase these figures;
in fact, I believe 100% of vehicles and machinery sold in and
imported into California should be zero-emission by 2030 instead of
the "50/15" rule that is currently under consideration.

Electrification of California's vehicle and machinery fleets is a
necessity if the state is to meet its clean air and climate change
targets.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
