Cities Can Drive PHEV Adoption: "Project Get Ready, based on a Portland initiative of the same name (more details to come).
This proposed project would be a citywide effort to get 100,000 PHEVs purchased within three years.
The incentives we decided on included:
-- Free electricity for the life of the vehicles
-- A discounted rate on green energy from the utility
-- Free downtown parking
-- Free vehicle registration, a sales tax exemption, and environmental waiver to eliminate emissions testing
-- HOV lane driving, free road tolls
-- Free home charger installation (including smart meters)
-- State tax credit
-- Free public charging at muni lots, as well as free parking
-- Discounts on solar panel
-- Three 'seed' sponsor companies would create financial incentives for their employees to buy PHEVs and provide free workplace charging"
