    Dear CARB,

    I am writing today to ask that the California Air Resources
Board not weaken the current Zero Emission Vehicle regulations.
Zero emission vehicles reduce air pollution, and help in the fight
against global warming. 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.

    Also, I fully support the staff's proposal to 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.Please be agents for thoughtful,long term
consideration of our state's, country's and world energy
requirements.

Sincerely,
Kim Monroe
