The Alliance for Automotive Innovation (AAI) released a policy roadmap earlier this month, but the group's suggestions don't fully address current.

There’s just something about the Envoy’s bitmapped grayscale icons that screams 1990s, a time when we were on the cusp of the Internet boom but didn’t yet realize what that meant.

Renewables account for nearly half of the city’s electricity output with less than a third of its full solar and wind potential of 70 gigawatts installed so far.
