LOS ANGELES, Nov. 16 (UPI) -- Reliant Energy and Nissan signed an agreement to establish Houston as a launch city to advocate the use of electric automobiles by the U.S. public.
Both companies announced a collaborative effort to advocate the switch from gasoline- to electric-powered automobiles by working together to establish the necessary infrastructure for charging stations and other needs for feasible use.
David Crane, chief executive officer at NRG, Reliant's parent company, said much of the road, power and delivery systems for electrical vehicle usage were in place already.
"Now we need to focus on tying these elements together with the technology, services and policies needed to power electric transportation," he said.
Reliant said that by adding a network of charging stations dedicated to electric vehicles, Houston could lead the way in zero-emission automobile usage.
Reliant under the terms of the agreement plans to develop and install public charging stations and home-charging equipment for electric vehicles.
Both countries made the announcement at the Los Angeles launch of the Nissan LEAF, the first all-electric vehicle designed for practical and affordable deployment.
"This agreement with Nissan is another part of our comprehensive effort to speed up the adoption of a broad-based electric-powered transportation ecosystem," said Crane.
