Subject | CARB Must Maintain Pressure to Deliver Pure ZEV’s in California |
Comment | I fully support the four proposals made to you on August 11th by TEsla Motors CEO Ze'ev Drori, as follows: CARB should: 1) Increase not decrease the minimum number of Pure ZEV required in Phase III (2012-2015); 2) Eliminate the substitution of Pure ZEVs with Enhanced AT-PZEVs; 3) Set the minimum ZEV requirements on a yearly basis rather than for three years, thus preventing manufacturers from getting an additional three year grace period and eliminating “blackout” years; 4) Change the carry forward provision of gold ZEV credits earned by any manufacturer that exclusively manufactures pure ZEVs to expire 3 years from the date of transfer to another manufacturer. I simply do not see how CARB can have reached a faultly conclusion that no electric car will be commercially available until 2012, when in fact Tesla Motors is ALREADY delivering fully electric cars at this very moment. CARB should be LEADING the charge toward early and wide adaptation of true zero emission vehicles, rather than handicapping manufacturers like Tesla, a CALIFORNIA based company, that is already producing ZEV's. I urger you to reconsider your policies regarding ZEV's, as stated above. |
