Connecticut officials say they want the state to get ahead of the curve in planning for the eventual widespread presence of electric-powered vehicles.
Gov. M. Jodi Rell has issued an executive order setting up a study council to determine what Connecticut must do to prepare for the day when those “green” vehicles are common.
It will study issues such as where the vehicles will be able to recharge and what effect they will have on the region’s power grid.
It will also consider whether the state’s transportation policies need to be updated to anticipate the days when the electric-powered vehicles are more widespread.
