Plug In America Tracks New Vehicle Progress

-

"Wow!" That's what U.S.A. Today's Open Road blogger Chris Woodyard has to say about Plug In America's new Plug-In Vehicle Tracker, which has also gotten raves from supporters and auto companies alike.

-

It's a "fantastic tool," said David Bentley Busch, VP of Design for Bright Automotive.

You'll find the tracker, likely the world's most comprehensive list of its kind, through a link on our homepage - www.pluginamerica.org. It includes highway-capable cars and trucks, 2- and 3-wheeled vehicles and commercial vehicles available today or in development. All of its data, to be updated monthly, is sourced from auto companies or media. http://www.pluginamerica.org/plug-in-vehicle-tracker.html

-

The tracker also features each vehicle's targeted delivery date, and you can bet we'll be using that info to keep the auto companies honest.

-

The list generally does not include converted vehicles unless they have been emissions and crash tested. This is because Plug In America advocates for safe, clean-running vehicles that have been crash tested and certified as meeting national emissions standards, or better. The list also does not include Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs) because, while they reduce miles traveled on petroleum, many consumers want a plug-in that can replace their existing vehicle, namely, a highway-capable car. Moreover, many types of NEVs are already available today.

-

Plug In America owes a debt of gratitude and many thanks to one of our most dedicated volunteers, Ted Flittner, for creating our tracker. Thank you, Ted!
