Why is Central Hudson interested in PHEVs?
Central Hudson is investigating PHEVs through a Research & Development project, so that it can help educate its customers about these vehicles before they become commercially available in 2010. If customers start purchasing and plugging in PHEVs into the Central Hudson system, Central Hudson wants to make sure these vehicles are safe. Central Hudson is investigating PHEVs for possible use in their own company vehicle fleet. Additionally, Central Hudson is involved with a utility industry working group that is working closely with car manufacturers to assess the adoptability of PHEVs.
