Larson Praises Installation of Electric Vehicle Charge Stations at the Hartford

HARTFORD, CONN. – Congressman John Larson (CT-01) issued the following statement in support of The Hartford's decision to become one of the first businesses in the region to install electric vehicle charging stations:

"More than ever Americans are embracing electric cars and I commend The Hartford for their leadership in becoming one of the first companies in the Hartford area to provide charging stations for their employees," Congressman Larson said. "With the price of gas approaching, or exceeding, four dollars per gallon throughout the state it is clear that we must continue to pursue new ways to power our cars and trucks. Electric, along with other alternative fuels such as Natural Gas, is not only better for the environment, but will help end our country's dangerous addiction to foreign oil."
