GE plans US e-car 'experience' tour

GE has announced it will host an electric vehicle experience tour in seven US cities to bring GE experts together with local businesses, industry leaders and public-sector stakeholders for educational workshops, test drives and dialogue on the business case for EV ecosystems.

GE has already committed to purchase 25,000 EVs by 2015 for its own fleet and for fleet customers. It owns one of the world’s largest vehicle fleets, operates a global fleet management business and offers products that include charging stations, circuit protection equipment and transformers that touch every part of electric vehicle infrastructure development. The company is hosting the EV Experience Tour to help other businesses and key stakeholders understand technical and business approaches for deploying pure electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.

Each day-long stop in cities along the tour will include presentations by GE and community leaders, workshops to help stakeholders with EV planning, deployment, and integration strategies, and test drives. Scheduled stops include San Francisco (March 10), Seattle (March 15), Los Angeles (March 17) and San Diego (March 22). Additional stops will be announced later for Austin, New York City and Washington, DC.
