Dear CARB,
I'm asking 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 potential car purchaser, I am concerned about pollution as
well as the high price of gasoline. I would very much like to have
the option of purchasing a zero emission vehicle and reducing my
own impact in these areas. This is unlikely to come to pass,
though, if automakers are only required to make 150 ZEV vehicles
per year.
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 a great option for
consumers like me.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Myers-Chamberlin
