Comment | Dear members of the public hearing, Our firm would likely introduce several thousand new 100% electric vehicles in 2008 and 2009 onto the street of California if this rule change from 25 to 35 mph is enacted. Consider the economic and public disadvantage for California by remaining at a mere 25 mph. Our firm and other firms will likely increase the presence and manufacutring capacity for 100% electric vehicles in other states. This not only translates to less satified consumers in California looking for a real choice in their vehicle selection, but image how sad it would be if in a mere 5 years, 100,000 new electric vehicles are driving the streets of Washington and Montana, and only a few hundred are in California. I remember five years ago, how american auto firms were making fun of the toyoto prius hybrid. The hundreds of thousands of workers in America being let go at american auto plants are no longer laughing. We have an opportunity to provide true leadership in California. This mileage increase is one step in the right direction to making electric vehicles a real option for the citizens of California. And remain competitive! Thank you, Harold Jahn Director Clean Electric, Inc. cleanelectric.net |
