Comment | Dear sir, madam, I am writing to you in regard to the adoption of amendments to the 2008 amendments to the California Zero Emissions Vehicle Regulation. As a resident of New Jersey I look over to the west with some admiration; an admiration of the direct influence and governance that has been applied with respect to the environment of California. It is therefore, with some disappointment that I read that the pressure being exerted on the auto-industry to work towards a better environment has once again been diminished. What I find more troubling is that the statements being made by the staff of the C.A.R.B. don’t appear to be accurate; if such inaccurate statements as “Given the current state of Battery technology staff doesn’t anticipate that manufacturers will produce any battery EV prior to 2012” (p. 29, last paragraph) are released to the broader public when, companies such as Tesla Motors (in your own back-yard), SMART and others in Europe are producing exactly that today, the damage to the reputation of C.A.R.B. will leave the organisation in taters with little left in the way of credibility. I urge you to carefully consider and reject the staff recommendation for granting any reduction, delays or reliefs in fully implementing the present requirements for pure ZEVs.
