Plug-in Hybrids: The Cars that Will Recharge America
Sherry Boschert tells us all about plug-in hybrids:
Nov 4: Plug-in Hybrids: The Cars that Will Recharge America
Sherry Boschert, author of a new book of the above name, will discuss plug-in hybrid cars. Unlike conventional hybrid cars, which can’t run without gasoline, plug-in hybrids use gasoline or cheaper, cleaner, domestic electricity, or both. Whereas hydrogen fuel-cell cars won’t be ready for decades, the technology and infrastructure for plug-in hybrids exist today. Although not yet for sale, demand for plug-in hybrids is widespread, coming from across the political spectrum. Plug-in hybrids will save drivers money, reduce pollution, and increase national security by reducing dependence on imported oil.
