Why Choose an Electric Vehicle? (EV)

Far from being a modern conception, electric cars were among the first vehicles on the road. In the formative days of the automobile, a third of cars were electric, and they challenged internal combustion engine-driven vehicles for primacy. It appears that the Electric Vehicle is beginning to show itself again!

The biggest advantages of an EV - at a glance:

• You can breathe easy beside an EV - no emissions!
  


• Greatly reduced greenhouse gas emissions if charged from coal-fired electrical generation--(None if charged by Wind Power, Hydro Power, or Solar PV).
  


• No engine or exhaust noise--quieter streets and neighborhoods.
  


• Breaks the dependence on oil, foreign or otherwise.
  


• Auto maintenance is far simpler, less expensive.
  


• 80% of daily commutes in North America would be easily handled by current battery technology.
  


• Announced upcoming new battery technologies extend the range to distances nearly equal to a current tank of gas, and charge nearly as fast as filling with gas.
  


• North America already has sufficient night-time (off-peak) electrical capacity to charge millions of cars.

We hope you find this text Insightful. Let's all really begin thinking "down the road" and get started envisioning, and planning, beyond the moment!
