Subject | Please Restore ZEVs |
Comment | In the mid-90s the CARB established modest yet pioneering ZEV standards for California, which resulted in establishment of Federal LSV standards and the appearance of several NEVs (Bombardier, Think, GEM) and roadworthy EVs (RAV4 E, EV1, Honda EV+, etc.). The CARB's repeal of the ZEV standards arrested the development of the EV. With global warming and peak oil, we now know we have no choice but to transform our vehicles to electricity, which is: • 4x more efficient than an ICE vehicle • 3x more efficient than a diesel or a hybrid • half the GHGs (assuming coal-based generation) • 5x less noise • no tailpipe emissions I am excited to hear you will be reconsidering ZEV standards. I hope you will strengthen them, but in no case should they be diluted. Thank You, Richard Dunn, President GreenWheels Center for Sustainable Transportation Los Alamos, New Mexico 87544 |
