A $99.8 million stimulus-act grant will help usher in the cars and chargers when they hit the street late this year, and it is giving a significant boost to a local company.
Tempe-based Ecotality Inc. received the grant last year to roll out about 12,000 charging stations for the first 4,700 Leaf vehicles and to research how people use the cars and chargers.
"This company is a great example of the stimulus act doing what it was supposed to do," Ecotality spokeswoman Jeanine L'Ecuyer said.
