The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

"We expected degradation in the range of vehicles in both cold and hot climates, but we did not expect the degradation we saw."

Among AAA’s recommendations: storing the electric car in a garage; monitoring recharge times in colder weather; preheating or cooling the car while it’s plugged in to reduce battery drain, and using electric seat heaters to keep warm.
