Subject | Mandate ZEV's - Don't allow H2 to be a Show Stopper |
Comment | We need ZEV's Now - I strongly urge ARB to force the auto manufacturers to sell more than 10,000 ZEV's per year in California. History showed us that when pushed the auto manufacturers were able to produce extremely viable ZEV's that were highly desired and used by the public. Please don't pass up this opportunity to allow them to do this again. Don't Wait for H2 - Fuel cells have proven themselves technically difficult to be economically viable in the next decade. Besides issues with the fuel cells themselves, no clean source of H2 has been clearly identified. Battery EV's are Ready Now - With the emergence of lithium battery chemistries in the past few years, the success of EV's such as the EV-1 will be just the start for the next wave of EV's. Companies such as Tesla and Phoenix Motor Cars are proving that technology is ready NOW - no further research necessary. So I urge you to do the right thing for our planet and the human race - force the auto manufacturers to sell lots of ZEV's in California. If you do, the world will follow. Thanks much, Matt Schneider |
