I write today to ask that the California Air Resources Board not
weaken the current Zero Emission Vehicle regulations. Zero
emission vehicles not only reduce air pollution, but help in the
fight against global warming. In fact, now is the time to
strengthen, not weaken, these requirements.

As a recent very happy hybrid car purchaser, I was concerned about
pollution as well as the high price of gasoline. I would have liked
to have had the option of purchasing a zero emission vehicle and
further reduce my impact in these areas. This is unlikely to come
to pass, though, if automakers are only required to make 150 ZEV
vehicles per year!

Finally, I fully support the staff's proposal to significantly
increase the number of plug-in hybrids that must be produced and
appreciate staff's vision in including these cars in the ZEV
requirements. A plug-in hybrid that has an all-electric range, but
that also runs on gasoline when the battery is empty, is absolutely
a great option for consumers like my family.


Sincerely,
