Toronto eyes electric cars

Toronto is joining a small group of North American cities that want to speed up the introduction of electric cars on their streets and high­ways. Project Get Ready was launched in February by the Rocky Mountain Institute, a Colorado-based think-tank.

“Toronto will be signing up,” said Ben Marans, man­ager of special proj­ects at the city’s Toronto Atmospheric Fund. The initiative aims to have at least 20 participating cities. He said there are many policy and infrastructure issues that need to be resolved before large volumes of electric vehicles can be accommodated on GTA streets.
