Description
After decades of false starts and wacky go-carts are electric cars finally ready for prime time? Virtually all major auto makers are bringing to market automobiles that use some form of electricity to move on down the road. New models include the Nissan LEAF, Chevrolet Volt, Ford Focus, Toyota Prius Plug-in, and others. Some run on batteries all the time while others switch between lithium ion batteries and gasoline engines.The EV industry is experiencing birthing pains and consumers are confused by a raft of new technologies and terms. How are EVs being received in the market? Is the smart grid a bunch of hype? How are mainstream media outlets covering the rebirth of electric cars? Join us for a conversation with reporters covering the new generation of cars and the technology in and around them.
