Alternative Power

This New York times article talks about alternative power and alternative dealers of unconventional automobiles. The dealership is called Ecomotion, which i think is a nice appropriate and catchy name as well.

The columnist in the write up refers to the vehicles (which are electric vehicles from ZAP among others) as a little funny looking. I actually think they are quite cute looking and really compact. I like a compact car, which i think is really convenient for city driving. It gets into all the itty bitty parking spaces that your common or garden variety of car will not be able to fit into.

The great thing about electric vehicles (apart from the obviously great thing that it is has zero emission and is therefore a non-polluting vehicle) is that because of their compact design they take up a lot less room on the roads. This is important when you consider how much bumper to bumper traffic slows you down during rush hour! This is a huge plus which is often overlooked when you talk of all the positives of electric cars.
