The Local Use Vehicle Project to demonstrate the efficacy of NEVs recently began in Los Angeles County. The eighteen month project features six NEVs – two GEMs, two Wheego Whips, a Columbia Summit and a Vantage NEV – will be used in Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach. Drivers chosen for the project will use a vehicle for six months, keep a journal about their experience and take a user survey at the end. The project is being supported by the South Bay Cities Council of Governments and the South Coast Air Quality Management District. Learn more: Hybridmile.com
