It would definitely help to have a technology agnostic approach to things. Again, not every single case or every community will be able to operate with an electric vehicle. However, a plug-in hybrid solution, or other solutions that manufacturers haven't even thought of, such as hydrogen fuel cells, might all be part of the solution going forward. The EV mandate unfortunately mandates just one technology. If we had one ask, it would be to have it as technology agnostic as possible.
I'm going to use one example that you might be surprised about. A lot of times proponents of the mandate tell us that's what they had to do with seat belts in order to get seat belts. Well, you didn't mandate seat belts; you mandated that people need to be sustained or maintained in their positions in a vehicle, in case of an accident, to protect them. However, you didn't mandate that it had to be made of polymer with a certain latch, initially.
Then industry started innovating from that. You have pretensioners on seat belts and things of that nature. By the way, you didn't prescribe something that might shrink 40% if it's winter, and then if I ate too much, maybe the seat belt would no longer fit and I couldn't drive home after an extensive dinner. This is what we talk about. Technology agnostic would be probably the most important thing on this.
