Electric cars
'They can go 40 miles for a dollar,' if cars get made
Posted by Jeff from Seattle Post-Intelligencer
AFS Trinity's prototype sport utility vehicles can go 40 miles on a single charge from a standard electric outlet, at which point a gas-powered engine takes over. The SUVs reach top speeds of 90 mph on the highway -- and accelerate without a hitch, as Furia demonstrated while speeding Monday on Westlake Avenue North. Gov. Chris Gregoire will take one of the firm's two working prototypes on a test drive Tuesday.
