Dear CARB,

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

I am currently looking to buy a new vehicle and cannot help but be
extremely concerned with pollution and sky-rocketing gas prices. I
would very much like to have the option to purchase a zero
emission vehicle and reduce my own impact in these areas. However,
this is unlikely to happen 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 the 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.
