The “Electric Vehicle Initiative” to Promote Electric and Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles in Florida with the Florida Electric Auto Association
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. --(Business Wire)-- Feb 20, 2009
A Florida family is traveling to your hometown this spring (Mid
February through the end of March) to show you that 100 plus miles per
gallon is a possibility for cars right now. Fed up with waiting for
carmakers to show a willingness to give citizens of this country the
non-polluting, efficient, electric cars that they want, this mom, dad
and teenage daughter are embarking on an Electric
Vehicle Initiative tour of the state. They will be showing people
throughout the state many types of all electric vehicles and plug-in
hybrid electric cars that exist right now. Their long journey will stop
in all the major cities of Florida and start February 21st
in Jupiter, FL at the Battery
Beach Burnout.
Their plug-in hybrid electric vehicle will be met in cities by
other members of The
Florida Electric Auto Association, one of the supporting
organizations, with their own electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles.
The purpose of The Electric Vehicle Initiative is to educate the
public about the benefits and possibilities of electric and
hybrid/electric cars. The family will be meeting with interested
individuals, one-on-one, to help them clarify the type of electric car
which fits their family. Also, information on converting a gas car to
electric will be provided.
Fran Sullivan-Fahs, Communications President for The Initiative
states, “For years we have wanted to do something substantial to help
the environment. Empowering people to take control of their
transportation costs while taking a big chunk out of global warming is
our desired contribution.”
Join the trip that this family is taking by visiting their blog
sites. They will be blogging about the trip, their experiences and the
people they meet on two blogs, one for Fran and her husband Ron, and
another for Joy, their daughter, so she can share her unique thoughts on
the trip as a teenager:
