Electric cars are expected to play a key role in reducing the greenhouse gas emissions caused by the country's transportation system. Recent trends around the country indicate increasing adoption of the technology.
"Officials from eight states say the United States is on track to have 3.3 millions zero emission vehicles on the road by 2025," reports Richard Irwin. "That will include 1.5 million in California alone."
The officials convened recently in California as part of the multi-state electric vehicle task force. The article provides details of the efforts of task force members like Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maryland, California, and Oregon to encourage the adoption of electric cars in their states. Created in 2013, the task force also includes New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Some of those states are encouraging the use of EVs through tax rebate programs and the like, while other states have made large infrastructure investments, like the West Coast Electric Highway.
