In the mid-90s the CARB established modest yet pioneering ZEV
standards for California, which resulted in establishment of
Federal LSV standards and the appearance of several NEVs
(Bombardier, Think, GEM) and roadworthy EVs (RAV4 E, EV1, Honda
EV+, etc.).

The CARB's repeal of the ZEV standards arrested the development of
the EV.

With global warming and peak oil, we now know we have no choice
but to transform our vehicles to electricity, which is:

• 4x more efficient than an ICE vehicle
• 3x more efficient than a diesel or a hybrid
• half the GHGs (assuming coal-based generation)
• 5x less noise
• no tailpipe emissions

I am excited to hear you will be reconsidering ZEV standards.  I
hope you will strengthen them, but in no case should they be
diluted.

Thank You,
