Plug-In Electric Vehicles
Did you know?
- Using electricity to power
an automotive vehicle would cost the
equivalent of paying less than $2.00 per gallon of gasoline at current
electric prices. In some states, the
cost would be under $1.00 per
gallon.
- A typical mid-size sedan, when running on
electricity from the current U.S. grid, would have the same carbon footprint as a car that gets 50 miles per gallon (mpg)
of gasoline. As more electricity comes from renewable sources, net carbon
emissions would be reduced further.
- Plug-in electric vehicles could be on the market very soon.
