Dear CARB,
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/climate change. In fact, now is the
time to strengthen, not weaken, these requirements.
As a potential car purchaser, I am concerned about pollution,
especially the attendant reduction in wildlife habitat. 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.
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 a great
option for consumers like me.
Sincerely,

Mack Errea
