Dreaming about the future makes me feel good in the here and now though, so right or wrong I'd rather be idealistic than realistic 
Oh, wow. I thought hybrid cars were just conceptual at this point; I'm pretty amazed to learn they already exist. I'm guessing you live in a pretty big city, because I've certainly never seen one down here in the country. |
Nope actually my town only has 92k people. Our City Transportation manager was pretty huge on EV and has been promoting it for a while, trying to find a more recent article but the one I did find said we have more EV and charging stations per capita then anywhere in the nation I think?
