Submitted Comment Name James Tong Affiliation Mitra EV Subject Making the Entry Point to Fleet Electrification Easier for Small and Medium Businesses Message Please find attached my written comments for the ZEV Forward initiative, which expand on oral remarks I delivered at the July 31, 2025 Long Beach public session. These comments reflect over 15 years of experience in climatetech and 8 years in fleet electrification, as well as insights from a U.S. Department of Energy–funded market research project (Project REEF) focused on small- and medium-sized business fleet adoption of EVs. For reference, I have also included a draft version of our National Study on EV Adoption Among SMBs, which contains preliminary analysis relevant to the barriers and opportunities discussed in my comments. I welcome the opportunity to follow up with your team to provide deeper, more granular input on program and incentive design.
