"We believe the first response to the education program  is very important to raise the warning level and understand the electric cars  technology. This is a natural extension of the collaborative efforts that we  have had in the past and what we should do when we introduce new security and  other technologies" said Carmen Benavides, Chevrolet  director of security.

Chevrolet develops with representatives from various security organizations, educational materials for fire departments, police, emergency medical, technicians and other elements and help to answer questions they have about electric cars.
