One of the main obstacles to getting consumers to purchase electric
vehicles is the outmoded law based on golf cart style NEVs that
prohibits the new generation of MSEVs from entering the normal
flow of city traffic.  These cars have safety features (seat
belts, welded aluminum frames) that allow them to be driven safely
at 35mph increasing their usefulness (and utimately their drivers'
safety).  The law should be brought up to speed with the new
technology, creating a viable alternative to gasoline powered cars
for short haul urban and suburban driving.  Don't let Detroit
dictate what vehicles Californians will drive.

Beyond simple licensing these vehicles could be given incentives
including free parking at meters, free charging stations, etc.
