SubjectTier 1 caps for small PHEV Conversion companies
Comment
Dear CARB,

I work in the PHEV-advocacy "business," and know that your
proposed cap of a mere TEN vehicles for Tier 1 in your latest
proposal is too low for nascent conversion companies and will put
most if not all out of business.  And during these economic times,
especially here in California, these small and innovative companies
are exactly the WRONG kind that we want to see disappear.  Some
could be the Hewlett-Packards of the future (especially since most
of them got started, appropriately, in GARAGES), but *not if they
are put out of business before they can gain a foothold*.  So
please, raise the cap on Tier 1 to 100 or 200, so that these
companies can afford to stay in business and grow to become
well-established, job-producing and GREEN companies.

Thank you.
