Va. preps for the electric car

A consortium of Virginia officials are preparing to bring the electric car to the commonwealth, Gov. Bob McDonnell announced Wednesday.

Through the nonprofit Rocky Mountain Institute’s “Get Ready” project, Virginia officials will work to transition state vehicles to electric power and introduce new ones.

“The easier we make it for electric cars to operate in the commonwealth, the more we will encourage private citizens and businesses, and local governments and agencies, to purchase these vehicles,” McDonnell said.
