Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) Demonstration Program and Social Media Campaign

The Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) Demonstration Program and Social Media Campaign is an innovative social media campaign and extended drive program designed to stimulate customer awareness and demand for PHEVs by placing vehicles in the hands of social media influencers. The project will conduct extended test drives with selected PHEV ambassadors in the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) states. During these test drives, the PHEV ambassadors will share and document their experiences with friends and followers through their blogs, Facebook and Twitter accounts, photos and YouTube videos to create online buzz around these vehicles.
