We were among the participants in Saturday’s “Inauguration Parade West,” Saturday in Santa Monica.

The event was organized by Plug In America to draw attention to recent advances in plug-in hybrid electric vehicle technology, and the growing adoption of these vehicles by the driving public.

Speakers included Chris Payne, director of “Who Killed the Electric Car,”  Santa Monica City Councilman Kevin McKeown, and California State Senator Fran Pavley.

Andy Frank, Ph.D. of UC Davis, considered the father of plug in hybrid technology, rode in a converted Ford F150.

“This is a great day,” said Frank. “It’s a demonstration of how far we’ve come with this technology. And what’s really great about the Plug In Hybrid solution it’s practical for fleet owners and individual motorists. You don’t have to buy a new vehicle to drive a hybrid!”
