| Comment | I bought a Toyota Prius with the intention to conver it to a plug-in. Now I see the plug-in conversion market is about to take off but is threatened with excessive restrictions before the industry can even get off the ground. Why do you require a 10 year warranty on plug-in. Are catlytic converters on non hybrids warrantied for ten years? I understand that you are concerned about the catalytic converter will not stay warm and will release more undesirable emissions. The whole purpose of a hybrid is to be able to drive in electric mode locally and to return home withiut ever using the internal combustion engine, hence no use of the caolytic converter unless going on long trips. Please let the Plug-in conversion industry move ahead without excessive regulatuion. Raise the Tier 1 ceiling to at least 100 vehicles |
