Dear CARB,

Please do 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.

I will soon be in the market for a new car, and 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 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.
