| Comment | The evaporative test procedures, warranty requirements, and exhaust
test procedures proposed for PHEV conversion companies would prove
unreasonably onerous to the start-up operations at work in this
field and would not make an important contribution to CA air
quality.
While I recognize the necessity for CARB to ensure regulatory
harmonization across vehicle types and operation sizes, it is
irresponsible at this point to apply such regulations to PHEV
companies. It is not worth throwing this particular baby out with
the bathwater.
