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. In fact, now is the time to
strengthen, not weaken, these requirements.

As a driver and car owner, 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
costs and 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.

Thank you for your attention.  I'd welcome a reply.

Sincerely,
Greg Regaignon
Claremont, CA
