'Get Ready Tampa Bay' promotes use of electric cars

[Ed Barrow]

Tuesday marks the launch of "Get Ready Tampa Bay," a partnership among local governments, utilities and businesses aimed at encouraging local residents to become owners of the 1 million new electric cars expected to be on the roads in the next five years.

"We want our region to be one of the ones that's leading the way," said Avera Wynne, a planning director with the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council.

The project will bring together public and private groups to make the region more "plug-in" ready and to show potential car owners the infrastructure will be there when they need it.
