Subject | ZEV 2008; strengthen yes, weaken no |
Comment | I am disappointed to hear that CARB is about to weaken the ZEV mandate with regard to mandates for electric vehicles. I urge you to greatly strengthen the electric vehicle portion of the ZEV mandate for 2008. I drive an all electric Chevy S10 pickup that was part of the original electric vehicle ZEV mandate. I love the truck, it works flawlessly and was made in 1998. I keep hearing that the automakers can't make electric vehicles that people want. I hear that the batteries are not ready. My truck, made by Chevy in the factory back in 1998 with nickel metal hydride batteries, is proof that there is hope and that change is possible. If CARB is willing to have some guts and help be a sponsor of change, then we will move forward with electric vehicles. Change will happen. It will be interesting to see who will be the ultimate authors of that change to EVs, this board, or a future one more in tune with the scientists, engineers, and people of California. I hope this board will act in a very positive EV way. |
