Overview:

Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Yeah. My wife and I have an Escape PHEV, and when it isn’t crazy cold and when we aren’t driving to another city or state, we don’t really touch the gasoline. I really wish it were an EREV instead of a PHEV to save weight on the drivetrain.

As Hank Green points out, as long as you plug an EREV (and, indeed, PHEV) in, you benefit enormously.

Right, how could I forget about the weight savings? Batteries are stinkin heavy
