Comment
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 potential car purchaser, 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.

Best regards,
