B.C. Buying Electric Vehicles
B.C. buying electric vehicles
Vancouver Sun, Wednesday, November 26, 2008
The provincial government is investing nearly $400,000 to support plug-in electric vehicles and related monitoring equipment around B.C., Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources Minister Richard Neufeld and Labour and Citizens' Services Minister Iain Black announced today in a press release.
"By expanding the range of clean energy vehicle technologies available to consumers, we can help achieve our goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 33 per cent by 2020," Neufeld said in the release. "Schools, communities, and businesses around the province are leading a grassroots effort to innovate to reduce emissions and tackle climate change."
There will be up to 34 plug-in electric vehicles in operation and being monitored in British Columbia. The initial vehicles are four Toyota Prius converted to plug-in hybrid electric and two pick-up trucks converted to plug-in battery electric.
"By converting government's vehicle fleet to plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, we are showing commitment to sustainable transportation and infrastructure," said Black. "Through the use of new technologies, I am confident government will achieve its goal of being carbon neutral by 2010."
