At the recent
AltWheels festival in Boston Massachusetts Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary announced that the state would be converting ten
hybrids in its fleet to plug-in capability. The vehicles will include sedans and SUVs. Bowles himself will be swapping his state-owned 2003
Ford Taurus for a plug-in
Toyota Prius. The conversions are expected to cost $8,000-10,000 per vehicle. Watertown, Mass.-based A123 is expected to be one of the companies that bids on the conversion contract through its HyMotion subsidiary.
