At the recent AltWheels festival in Boston Massachusetts Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary announced that the state would be converting ten hybrids in its fleet to plug-in capability. The vehicles will include sedans and SUVs. Bowles himself will be swapping his state-owned 2003 Ford Taurus for a plug-in Toyota Prius. The conversions are expected to cost $8,000-10,000 per vehicle. Watertown, Mass.-based A123 is expected to be one of the companies that bids on the conversion contract through its HyMotion subsidiary.
