zero emissions = low emissions- do not raise the pollution levels
put out by these cars in order to bend to car industry pressure.

Please do not weaken the current Zero Emission Vehicle
regulations. Zero emission vehicles not only reduce air pollution,
but help in the fight against the destruction of our planet. We
should bolster these requirements, not weaken them.

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 electric 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.  A mandate of an all electric cars
as in the EV1, needs to be put back into place as well.


Sincerely,
Claude Collins
