[ausev] Why are converted vehicles excluded from this list?

[Tom Morgan]

I will be happy to sign  letters  to anyone y'all want on this.  I
suggest  including the following:

1.  Extending  the rebate to used electric vehicles (including
conversions).

2.  Increasing the dollar amount.

3.  Including Zap vehicles  on the list.

Thanks, Tom Morgan, 3302 Harris Park Avenue, Austin, Texas 78705

I'm in for signing/helping write the letter. We can get a 2nd from the 
Austin Bootstrap (small business) Sustainability group with some 
gibberish about how it neglects small businesses from getting started 
(say a business for converting vehicles).
