Plymouth Utilities plug-in hybrid-electric utility truck.

WPPI Energy provides incentive funding to member utilities to support the purchase of hybrid vehicles for conversion to plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles (PHEVs) and for the purchase of all-electric, neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs).

In the past year, four WPPI Energy members have purchased and converted five hybrids into PHEVs. In addition, Plymouth Utilities has added a PHEV utility truck to its fleet. WPPI Energy members with PHEVs include Columbus, Plymouth, Stoughton, Sturgeon Bay and Waupun.

where a total of 18 NEVs are being used for routine utility business:
