If you have found your way here, you are half the way to energy efficient personal transportation. Give yourself a big eco-ego pat on the back. It can still be the most fun 40 miles you have ever driven. Cars and trucks , and the oil industry which drive them, are this planets single largest environmental problem , and its pretty much in a state of denial, even from environmentalists. Just look at the number of electric cars at the E.P.A. parking lot, or at Greenpeace, or Sierra Club.
Electric cars are available for any one with the vision or desire to own one.
Remember, to convert a gas car to electric, is the highest form of recycling. An electric car bought today, will only get better over time. Today's electric cars, the affordable ones, not the dream machines from Detroit, can easily guarantee their owners a good solid 40 miles of range. These same cars can do 80 to 100 miles under the most ideal conditions of level road, warm day, steady 30 to 40 m.p.h. As I said, it is a Psychological barrier.
