I appreciate the opportunity to provide public comment on the
Proposed Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation (ACF).
This regulation in it's current form is not sustainable or
practical. There are currently no charging stations for electric
trucks near the ports. Not to mention, the time it will take to
charge an electric truck plus having to stop for additional charges
would severely hinder productivity for drivers and creat further
congestion at California ports. With diesel trucks being
phased out by either the year or 800,000 miles rule, many drivers
will be put out of work considering the cost for them to buy an
electric truck will be 3 times what they would pay for a diesel
truck. This will cause further unrest and supply chain issues in
CA.
We urge you to amend the ACF regulation for more flexibility so
that the regulation catches up with technology and not technology
catching up with the regulation.
Thank you,
Brenda Rightnour
