American Bank gets behind the push for Hybrid vehicles…or does it?
In yesterday’s Los Angele’s Time a small article caught my eye.
According to the writer - the Bank of America is piloting a hybrid vehicle purchase plan for almost 21 000 employees in Los Angeles, Boston and Charlotte.
Workers who purchase one of the Federal-Government tax-credit eligible hybrid cars will also receive a $3000 rebate from the Bank.
Hopefully, this is an initiative that is likely to be watched with great interest by other corporations.
Bank of America is not the first corporation to debut this kind of scheme. Google has been offerring a $5000 rebate for some time - and St Paul Travellers Inc. Insurance company offers its employees discounts on Insurance for hybrid purchases.
However, the initiative from Bank America is important because of its potential size - and also arguably the mainstream status of the corporation. The fact that traditional business-focussed corporations will support this kind of scheme shows the increasing penetration of hybrid car awareness.
