Ontario, Calif. –December 9, 2008 Governor Linda Lingle today announced a plan to bring all-electric vehicles and an electric vehicle infrastructure to the island of Maui through a partnership with Phoenix Motorcars by 2009.

“This public-private partnership to bring electric vehicles to our state marks another significant development in the Hawai’i Clean Energy Initiative, as we seek to reduce Hawai’i’s dependence on imported oil,” Governor Lingle said. “It is also an important part of our Administration’s five-point economic action plan, which includes attracting innovative private investments, especially in renewable energy technology. We appreciate the confidence Phoenix Motorcars has in the Hawai’i marketplace and the recognition of our ongoing collaborative efforts to capitalize on Hawai’i’s abundant natural renewable energy resources.”
