Plug-in electric vehicles pose challenges for feds (6/10/09) -- www.GovernmentExecutive.com: "Federal agencies are obligated by law and executive order to use plug-in electric vehicles when they become commercially available, but meeting that requirement will be a major challenge, auditors from the Government Accountability Office found.
In a new report, GAO found that the likely high cost of those vehicles and insufficient infrastructure for recharging them are barriers to widespread adoption, at least initially. In addition, many of the laws governing federal energy use and vehicle acquisition hold contradictory goals that will make it difficult for agencies to comply."
