"Under the plan, electric vehicles would be the dominant mode of transportation. Electric trams and low-speed electric vehicles would be used for personal trips within the community, and electric city cars would be available on a per-trip basis for use in the region by residents and business tenants. "Our residents will be able to keep their gas guzzlers in the garage and use electric vehicles for trips within Playa Vista and throughout the greater Southern California area," said Playa Vista President Steve Soboroff."
