UVM engineers invent new method for managing growing fleet
Selecting a Chevy Volt, Tesla Model S, Nissan Leaf — or one
of many other new models — shoppers in the United States bought more than
96,000 plug-in electric cars in 2013. That’s a tiny slice of the auto market,
but it’s up eighty-four percent from the year before. In Vermont, as of January
2014, there were 679 plug-in vehicles, according to the Vermont Energy
Investment Corporation. That’s two hundred percent growth over 2013.
