Driving forward:
an action
plan for the electric drive era
Electric drive vehicles – hybrid,
pure battery electric, plug-in hybrid and fuel
cell vehicles - are essential in leading the
U.S. to greater energy, environmental and
economic security. The U.S. is spending $200
billion on imported foreign oil annually. As an
alternative to oil, we can fuel our vehicles
with electricity, which is domestically
produced and reliable.
Building the
electric drive fleet in the U.S. paves the way
for economic growth and for the country to
build a competitive edge in the global race for
advanced energy technologies. Our goals for
clean transportation and a healthier
environment can also be reached with electric
drive.
