Hello,

I would like CARB to consider that even if PHEVs do emit slightly
more smog-forming emissions that other cars, they should not be
regulated.

I say this is for two reasons:

1.  Small company and private individual PHEV conversions are
going to be short-lived.

2.  The number of cars converted by small companies and private
individuals is small.

In a few years we will see large numbers of PHEVs available
commercially from major auto manufacturers.  These will have to
meet existing emissions standards and these manufacturers all offer
reasonable warranties.

In the meantime all of America needs these private PHEV
conversions to continue.  They help put pressure on major auto
makers to step up to the plate and offer competing commercial
products.

Thank you for all the leadership over the years provided to our
nation where cars and clean air are concerned.  Leadership on these
issues certainly do not come from anywhere else.  I know this
because I live in one of the worst polluted metropolitan areas in
the US and no one will do anything about it.

Thank you,
