Dear Andrea Dorey,

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 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:

This page also has details on how to join our EV-advocacy mailing  
list to get future notices.

Sincerely,


Ron Freund
