Yes the list is great but it's not reaching the
people who make the laws.
I call all my pols evey 3 months or so and find
it's useful getting things changed. If they get over
10 calls they start wondering if it's a movement.
Phone calls are cheap now and don't get lost in
the US gov overburdened e-mail systems which rarely
get read. To talk to 8 or so elected pol's aids only
cost about $3 and 1 hour, a good investment. Call
your's today and often or don't complain when bad laws
are made.

Pretty much the same idea from a different
perspective but would double the # of EV drivers
represented that get little notice now.
We have been the backbone of EV's in the US for 40
years and proof that it's not that hard to make good
EV's at a reasonable price, countering their biggest
arguements of too high cost, lack of market.
Showing it's only the lack of will, not technical,
market forces keeping EV's from production really
helps our case. If amatures can do it why can't Auto
companies?
The production coalilition has done the hard work
already, just be a seperate group going Yes, that's
true.
There are even more of us. Numbers impress
politicians.
