The California Air Resources Board (CARB) is working on revising its Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Program for 2015 and beyond. During a meeting last Thursday, members of advocacy group Plug In America delivered testimony at CARB's hearing and asked the regulatory agency to shift its focus from hydrogen vehicles to plug-in electric cars.

Specifically, according to PIA's new blog "In the Driver's Seat Plug," (in an entry written by former ABG blogger Marc Geller), PIA president Dan Davids said CARB had made good achievements in the past, "but faulted the agency for skewed priorities and reliance on unreliable information and projections." Those skewed priorities include favoring H₂ over plug-ins by 75 to 25 percent, based on PIA's calculations, which doesn't mesh with CARB's stated ""technology neutrality." Before the meeting, PIA issued a statement saying that CARB should push for plug-in vehicles because they will "deliver greenhouse gas reductions five years earlier than fuel cell vehicles." Read their entire statement after the jump.
