Electric Cars

More electric cars are on their way to New York metro area, which means the city is going to have to make some major infrastructure changes. We’ll examine the advantages and disadvantages of more electric autos in the city, with Neal Parikh, Senior Policy Advisor to the Mayor’s office of Long-Term Planning and Sustainability. We’ll also be joined by Tom Turrentine, an anthropologist and Director of the Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Research Center at UC Davis, and Joseph P. Oates is vice president of energy management at Con Edison.

Commissioner of the New York City Department of Transportation Janette Sadik-Khan was on the Brian Lehrer Show this morning talking about her agenda for Mayor Bloomberg's third term. Listen to that interview here.
