All the wind farms and solar panels in the world won’t do anything to lower the outflow of hundreds billions of dollars annually or decrease our pump-fueled funding of Islamic fundamentalism unless we build cars that can use that cleaner electricity.

Beware of businessmen trying to make a fortune with the wish to shift to cleaner propulsion! The three leading new options to re-supply our autos with energy are charging at home, battery swap stations and fast charge stations.
