Car blogs

I'm worried. Americans are kind of confused about EVs. There's a bit of a collision course in the offing between what people think about them and the on-the-ground reality. That's borne out in two recent polls.


American car owners told Consumer Reports that they're really concerned about cutting our dependence on fossil fuel. They don't like their gas dollars funding terrorists, which is something everyone agrees on, including the Tea Party. They're willing to do their part by purchasing a green car, too, but when they talk about their expectations it goes totally off the rails--they want far more than the market can deliver right now.
