PG&E asks carmakers to hurry up on plug-in hybrids
LOS ANGELES, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Pacific Gas & Electric Co. is asking its 5.1 million customers to petition automakers to speed up development of plug-in electric-gasoline hybrid vehicles, California's largest utility said on Friday.
Along with their power and gas bills for September, PG&E customers will get a request to lobby the automakers.
PG&E and its parent, PG&E Corp. (PCG.N: Quote, Profile, Research), have joined with an Austin, Texas-based organization called "Plug-In Partners" that has set up an Internet petition drive to pressure U.S. and foreign automakers to make cars that can charge up by plugging in to a regular 120-volt household outlet.
"The petition basically says, 'If you build it, we will buy it,'" said PG&E vice president Bob Howard.story continued
