A coalition of eight states announced plans to boost the use of electric cars and other zero emission vehicles, promising incentives and an improved network of fueling stations to encourage consumers to buy the vehicles and prompt manufacturers to produce more of them, reports The Washington Post.
Governors of the states – California, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island and Vermont – hope to put at least 3.3 million zero emission vehicles on their roads by 2025, reports Lenny Bernstein in The Post. To accomplish that, they pledged to install more electric charging stations, introduce or continue tax breaks for consumers and add such vehicles to government fleets, The Post reports.
