U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 2510. Use of electric and hybrid vehicles by Federal agencies
The Postmaster General of the United States Postal Service, the
Administrator of the General Services Administration, the Secretary
of Defense, and the heads of other Federal agencies shall -
(1) carry out a study of the practicability of using electric
and hybrid vehicles in the performance of some or all of the
functions of their agencies; and
(2) arrange for the introduction of electric and hybrid
vehicles into their fleets as soon as possible.
For competitive procurement purposes in purchasing such vehicles,
life-cycle costing and any beneficial air pollution control
characteristics of electric and hybrid vehicles shall be fully
taken into account. If the head of the agency involved determines
that electric or hybrid vehicles are technologically practicable,
but that they are not completely economically competitive with
conventional vehicles, the Secretary of Energy may, for purposes of
the demonstration program described in section 2506 of this title,
pay to such agency the incremental costs of the electric or hybrid
vehicles, including differential operating costs.
