Life Without Gasoline Continues I like to drive an electric vehicle (EV) because it helps fight climate change by reducing the burning of fossil fuels. I agonized over the color, and finally picked a bright Kinetic Blue, opting for the light gray interior. I named the little car Fidelio. I had faith that Id like it.
