- The CARB ZEV Mandate is up for review
- ...and they're killing the electric car again
- Based on new CARB Staff proposal - less than 1000 true ZEV vehicles per
year will have to be made before 2015
- Telsa alone could supply all of the credits the entire industry needs.
- The CARB Board will meet March 27, 2008 to decide
- WE NEED YOU THERE!!! and we need letters, calls, and
faxes!!!
- Tell them specifically:
- The numbers don't work - we want all 25,000 real ZEVs in Phase III
- Make lots of Plug-in Hybrids as soon as possible but take from the
- dirtiest cars not the
cleanest cars.
- Arnold - Stop CARB from
killing the electric car again!

- Plug-in Hybrid Special Interest Group of the EAA (EAA-PHEV SIG)
- Launched on Oct. 25th, 2005
- Email discussion list: 366 Members and 2117 messages, so far.
- A new SIG for Battery Management Systems has been recently spun off
(FreeBMS)
- Several plug-in hybrid conversions are documented - mostly for Toyota
Prius
- [Warning: Toyota does not endorse modifications of the Prius.
- PHEV modifications involve dangerous high voltages and the weight of
- extra batteries may adversely affect performance and handling of the
car.
- The car owner assumes all liability for injury or death resulting from
such modifications].
- Commercially available conversions are often very expensive.
- Open-source design from Cal-Cars is least expensive with kits available
from a "private party" member of the group.
