Model-E

Dear Kevin,
I don't know about you, but I've been hearing a lot lately about electric cars. And since I’m not part of our engineering staff, I don't know a fuel cell from a warp drive. Thankfully, the UCS vehicle team has created a new line of electric car designs—The Model E—that give you an inside look at how various electric vehicles are powered. So will these vehicles really be the revolution everyone's predicting? According to our experts they very well could be! But they're not a silver bullet. Check out the new resource center for answers to many of the common questions about hybrid electrics, plug-in hybrids, fuel cells, and battery electrics, and to find out how these technologies can help us save money at the gas pump, reduce our oil use, cut smog-forming pollution, and rein in global warming emissions. —Karla
