Electric Auto Association |Hi All, I got this also a few days ago from the EAA. I called Gov. Schwarzenegger's office and gave them the facts that were listed in the "how to call on this issue" section. It was clear cut & easy to respond on this issue. I hope that it will help to make a difference. We never know when an action like this will help. But we definitely know that if we do nothing, there is no chance of the positive impact that we want. I hope they get a lot of calls. Fran ----- Original Message ----- From: Andrew To: 'FLEAA Mailing List' Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2008 4:00 AM Subject: [FLEAA] FW: EAA Special Notification
Hi Everyone, I received this important email. I expect all members have as well. I think we should definitely do something. Andrew ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Will Beckett (becketts) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2008 2:12 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: EAA Special Notification Dear R. Andrew Roddy, On March 27th, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) is scheduled to vote on a change to their Zero Emissions Vehicle (ZEV) program that could delay production EVs another decade. The Electric Auto Association urges you to take action to make California aware that you want production EVs from the major automakers, back on the roads. We have set up a website to help. The ZEV goals were once 2% in 1998, 3% in 2001, and 10% in 2003, but later the program was put off a decade. Now as the end of that decade draws near, CARB staff proposes to delay another decade. Staff calls for 840 vehicles per year (0.04%) in 2012 through 2014. The old 1998 target is fifty times what is now being proposed for 16 years later. In 2015 CARB proposes only 0.4%. The 2012 goals do not even approach the number of vehicles previously shown to be possible. The EAA does not normally use email except for membership reminders. Because of urgent upcoming decision that may affect EVs to years to come, we are sending this email to ask that you join a low-traffic mailing list that the EAA will use to alert you to developments where your emails, letters, faxes, phone calls, etc. could make a big difference. Participation is optional, but please do consider joining and help us advocate for EVs in important battles, such the one that will be decided on 3/27. For further information about what you can do to let California know you want a meaningful ZEV program, please visit: http://www.eaaev.org/action/ This page also has details on how to join our EV-advocacy mailing list to get future notices.
