Plug In America




PIA advocates the development of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle s, Battery Electric Vehicle s, and other vehicles which utilize electricity, from the Power Grid or from electricity-generating devices such as Solar Cells , as a substantial source of motive energy.


HISTORY

PlugInAmerica.com began as Don't Crush , an effort to stop automobile makers from taking back Electric Vehicles at the end of their lease and crushing them. With the end of successful campaigns against Ford and Toyota in conjunction with the Rainforest Action Network the coalition of Toyota RAV4 EV drivers, former Honda EV Plus , GM EV1 , and Ford Th!nk City lessees, and clean air and energy independence advocates transformed themselves into PIA to augment the growing push for plug-in vehicles. PIA works in conjunction with several other organizations, including CalCars and Plug-In Partners .
