Subject | Strengthened Zero Emission Vehicle Regulations |
Comment | Dear CARB, I am concerned that the California Air Resources Board is considering weakening the current Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) regulations. It seems to me that this is a move in the wrong direction and that now is the time to strengthen, not weaken, these requirements. I am close to buying a new car that will reduce my carbon footprint. It's not practical, I suppose, but I would very much like to have the option of purchasing a zero emission vehicle. But if you act now, perhaps in a few years we'll be able to replace my wife's car with a ZEV vehicle. So I support the your 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, would be ideal for me now. |
