If you want to take action Plug in America has issued legislative action alert: http://action.pluginamerica.org/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=20271

Thanks

I just signed the opposition to this bill.

I cannot believe, how they have not come up with any plan to extend the white BEV stickers before working on a possible plan to extend green PHEV stickers...that sounds like backwards policy..

What has owner income levels have anything to do with the green credentials of a vehicle. The white and green sticker are a badge to the vehicle, not its owner..this does not make any sense either..

It might be too late. I'd seen posts on https://www.facebook.com/groups/BayLeafs/ about this along with receiving an email from Plug-in America that directed us to http://action.pluginamerica.org/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=20271 that says "We need to act before the day ends on Thursday, August 25, 2016 to keep strong ZEV policies in place in California..."

Thanks to a reply on Tivocommunity (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=473842&page=111, which you can't see unless you have a free account there), I looked at the opened up the 8/18/16 analyses from https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billAnalysisClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB1964, "The sponsor of this bill, the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers,"

http://www.autoalliance.org/about-the-alliance/overview?gclid=Cj0KEQjwi_W9BRD_3uio_Jz-p8UBEiQANU80vgp0ZIUiYGFLR4h35rAYP6NGp5B85WKa7qM7afT4x1EaAmQL8P8HAQ says "The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers is an association of 12 vehicle manufacturers including BMW Group, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford Motor Company, General Motors Company, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz USA, Mitsubishi Motors, Porsche, Toyota, Volkswagen Group of America and Volvo Car USA."

Notice a few names missing? Hmmm...

Look at the quantities of PHEVs and BEVs (if any) sold by some of the above suspects at http://www.hybridcars.com/july-2016-dashboard/, esp. Ford, which sells tons of PHEVs (e.g. both Energis) but a pittance of Focus Electrics.
