Georgia Public Service Commissioner Tim Echols, accompanied by a caravan of electric, propane and natural gas-powered vehicles, made a stop in Savannah on Thursday as part of his third annual Georgia Alternative Fueled Vehicles Road Show hosted by Savannah Technical College.
Various organizations showcased a variety of alternative-fueled vehicles ranging from the fully electric-powered Nissan Leaf to a Chevrolet Silverado 2500 that operates on compressed natural gas.
“The Public Service Commission had a role in expanding natural gas fueling a couple of years ago,” Echols said. “And so, through that, I had a chance to buy a natural gas car and drive it for two years and experience the benefits of using an alternative-fueled vehicle.
“As a result of driving that car I created a road show that travels around to educate consumers about the different types of alternative-fueled vehicles available for them.”
Echols stressed the importance of Georgia building a strong workforce to support the explosion of developing vehicle technologies.
