The TransAtlas – a New, Interactive Map For Alt Fuel
Filed Under: green automotive technology, zoomilife.com on September 19, 2009
This is a very cool and much-needed idea. The National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) and the Department of Energy (DoE) have partnered on a project they’re calling TransAtlas (Transportation Atlas). It’s a Google Maps-based map for finding information on alternative fuels nationally.
So if you’re Neil Young cruising in your LincVolt and are wondering where you can get a recharge, you can use the TransAtlas to narrow your search by location and fuel type and BINGO! There’s a Big Jim’s Burger right over there that has a plug-in recharging station in their lot!
Right now, TransAtlas covers biodiesel (all grades), compressed or liquified natural gas (CNG/LNG), ethanol (all grades), electric vehicle charging stations, hydrogen, and propane. It lists both currently available/active fueling stations and future planned stations, delineated as such by color.
