Subject | CARB should support EVs and Plug-in Hybrids |
Comment | As a proud citizen of this great state of California, I feel it is my duty to make my voice heard on this issue. All Californians deserve the right to clean air and the freedom to choose what kind of vehicles they purchase. Unfortunately, these two ideas tend to conflict with each other. Today, however, we have the technology to make them work hand in hand. By adopting and supporting EVs and plug-in hybrids to fulfill the ZEV mandate and incentivizing plug-in vehicles based on the amount of liquid fuel they can displace, we can move California into the clean energy future that we all keep talking about. But it's not just about clean energy and stopping air pollution. We can support our local economy by making it easier for California based companies like Tesla Motors, Phoenix Motorcars, or Miles Automotive to compete with the large automakers from Detroit and abroad. We can start to use cleaner energy produced in California by Californian companies instead of the dirty fossil fuels we import from dangerous nations in the middle east. I am proud of my state and I am proud that California has done so much already to advance vehicle technology and become a leader in the fight for a cleaner environment. It is my hope that the Air Resources Board continues to work towards a better California for all, and I truly believe that EVs and plug-in hybrids can play a large part in achieving this goal. Sincerely, Devin Lussier |
