Spoke with someone from CARB over the weekend. The way he spun it was that the new regulation is an improvement, if you like PHEVs that is. Old reg: You must produce 25,000 ZEVs between 2012 and 2014 New reg: You can produce 7500 Type 4 EVs or 5300 Type 5 EVs, but only if you also produce 58,000 PHEVs Economists tend to like more flexible regs that get you to the same goal. In this case, CARB's analysis is that the new rule will lead to better CA air quality than old rule. Sam
