Maui Electric and Giv Lina Lingle have signed an agreement with Phoenix Motorcars to provide them with electric pick-up trucks to use in Maui Electric Co.’s fleet and test out.
“We’re very interested in testing electric vehicles from manufacturers like Phoenix Motorcars to use electricity generated by renewable resources during off-peak hours, and to determine whether electric vehicles can efficiently store that power and return it to the grid when there’s high demand,” said Ed Reinhardt, president of Maui Electric, in a statement.
Gov Lingle also recently signed another agreement with Better Place to bring a plug-in-network to Hawaii and electric cars by 2012.
