The ZEV goals were once 2% in 1998, 3% in 2001, and 10% in 2003,
but later CARB put off clean air progress for 14 years until 2012.
As that date draws near, CARB staff proposes to delay again, by
cutting the target in 2012 from 0.4% to 0.04%.

The new target does not even approach the number of vehicles you
have previously shown to be possible. Today we have better
technology and significantly raised consumer awareness, so there
is no excuse for this backsliding.

I ask that you put 25,000 pure ZEVs on California's roads between
2012 and 2014. If that is one fifth of the 1998 goal, but at least
it is a start. Staff's proposed 840 vehicles a year is not even a
start; it is an insult. You must do better.
