Online tool for electric cars:
An online tool to educate consumers about electric cars available in the Chicago area was recently launched by the Environmental Law and Policy Center. PlugInChicagoMetro.org includes comparative, interactive information about the seven makes/models of plug-in electric cars that are now or soon will be available for purchase, as well as information about electric rates, charging options, tax incentives, and links to resources throughout the Midwest region. ELPC is working to advance policies that support electric cars and public charging infrastructure in Chicago and the Midwest as a way to reduce dependence on foreign oil, produce less pollution and other benefits.
