Edmonton wants to steer people toward electric cars but councillors are hearing the city may have to build the infrastructure before more people sign on. "The plug-ins and the charging stations have to come first to really get any momentum." Edmonton has applied for a $1.2-million federal grant to install 204 public charging stations. Councillors on the urban planning committee passed a motion to come up with a way to monitor the growth of electric cars in Edmonton. Currently, 160 people in Edmonton own electric cars.
