Abstract
This paper is about a framework that would minimize switching costs of an Electric Utility Company´s customers and public transportation operators from their existing equipment to a more efficient alternative to be provided by a trade-in company at a minimal or no cost. The concept will also address the concern for the environment by reducing toxic substances into the air caused by vehicle emissions such as carbon dioxide. This concept will also reduce the dependence on fossil fuels especially for the developing countries.
