Eight states, including California and New York, pledged Thursday to work together to dramatically multiply the number of zero-emission cars on the nations roads by speeding the construction of charging stations and other infrastructure.
The goal is to put 3.3 million battery-powered cars, plug-in hybrids and other clean-burning vehicles on the roads in those states by 2025. Thats more than 15 times as many zero-emission vehicles projected to be in use in the entire U.S. by 2015.
Auto dealers say networks of charging stations and other conveniences are crucial to winning over drivers who are accustomed to pulling up to the gas pump and fear getting stranded by a dead battery.
The other states in the pact are Massachusetts, Maryland, Oregon, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Vermont. The eight states together represent about 23 percent of the U.S. auto market.

Trying to go back to the turn of the last century, I see. The last time electric cars outsold internal-combustion (and even external-combustion) cars in the USA was in 18991900.

The claim that electric cars are zero-emission is false. The are elsewhere-emission vehicles.

NY ones will have to have only ONE cup holder-one that holds no more than a 12 oz cup...and only ONE so you have to SHARE with your passengers.

News from the future (probably next month): 8 states join together to whine about the lack of gasoline taxes. Demand more cash.

It’s nice when the headline sums everything up, so you don’t have to read the actual article.
Clean cars are okay — but, do car washes really need government subsidies?

global warming is a hoax. funny how the media, government schools, scientists conveniently forget to mention that the Sun's solar cycle is what affects the Earths' climate. We are in solar cycle 24 which is much below average. 25 will be very tiny which means decades of global cooling. ask yourself why the news media , schools, government , scientists etc. ignore the Sun and its cycle . these institutions are all political and controlled by democrats/socialists. a million Earths can fit in Sun
