Dear CARB,

I 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. This is the time to strengthen, not weaken, these
requirements.  To do otherwise is an outrage.

As a consumer, I should have the option of purchasing a zero
emission vehicle and reducing my own impact in these areas. If
automakers are only required to make 150 ZEV vehicles per year,
this option will be scarce.

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
conscious consumers.
