Mayor Menino signs on to promote the hybrid plug in campaign

Mayor Thomas M. Menino has joined the Plug in Partners Campaign. According to the pluginpartners.org website other U.S. cities including Austin, Baltimore, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle have signed on to promote the use of plug-in hybrids.

The campaing is focused on promoting the use of PHEV's in cities by getting petitions drives and pledges for 'soft-orders' of PHEV's when they are available.

The plug-in hybrids allow the user to recharge their batteries using outlets overnight, allowing the car to travel 25 to 35 miles on battery power alone. This sort of technology is considered beneficial to in-city driving, where a local driver may not drive more than that every day. The use of PHEV's in the city cuts down on pollution and gas use in the areas where it is most needed.
