LANSING, MI –
A coalition of groups is launching an effort to advance Michigan's growing electric vehicle industry. The campaign is backing an online petition drive asking state leaders to support the industry by implementing clean fuel standards and financial incentives.
Susan Harley of Clean Water Action says boosting Michigan's electric vehicle industry is crucial to the state economic future.
"Michigan can be the hub for 21st century auto tech innovation and provide good jobs for future generations, if electric car manufacturing and sales succeed here," she says.
Harley says there is no date set to file the petition, but urges action now.
