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.</font></div><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Times" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Times"> </font></p><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Times" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Times"><b>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%.

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 <b>will be decided on 3/27</b>.</font></div><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Times" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Times"> </font></p><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Times" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Times">For further information about what you can do to let California know you want a meaningful ZEV program, please visit:</font></div><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Times" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Times"> </font></p><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Times" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Times"> <a href="http://www.eaaev.org/action/"><font color="#0010fe" style="color: #0010fe">http://www.eaaev.org/action/</font></a></font></div><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Times" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Times"> </font></p><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Times" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Times">This page also has details on how to join our EV-advocacy mailing list to get future notices.</font></div><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Times" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Times"> </font></p><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Times" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Times">Sincerely,</font></div><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Times" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Times"> </font></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Times" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Times"> </font></p><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Times" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Times">Ron Freund</font></div><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Times" size="4" style="font: 13.0px Times"> </font></p><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; min-height: 13px; "><br></div><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 11.0px 0.0px"><font face="Lucida Grande" size="1" style="font: 9.0px Lucida Grande">No virus found in this outgoing message.<br> Checked by AVG.<br> Version: 7.5.518 / Virus Database: 269.21.7/1322 - Release Date: 3/9/2008 12:17 PM</font></p><div><font class="Apple-style-span" size="1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 9px;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></span></font></div>
