Subject | Plug-in Hybrids make more sense |
Comment | I understand that in a few days you will be looking at the commitments made to increase the number of ZEVs on the road in California in 2012. I urge you to make this number as high as possible, and at the same time require hybrid gas/electric vehicles to be plug-in rechargeable. Currently there are no production hybrid cars made by a major manufacturer that does not get all of its power from gasoline. None. In fact, the 2008 Toyota Prius gets the same gas mileage as a 1989 Geo Metro (46MPG combined.)I do not consider this a move forward. Currently, we as a nation are borrowing roughly $1 Billion EACH DAY to buy oil. This is money we could be using for something else more important. California should be leading the country in this regard, and choosing to require ZEVs is the main way of doing this. Please stand firm in the commitment to increase ZEV sales in California. Thank you for your time. -Edward K. Smallwood http://thepoliticaledly.blogspot.com/ |
