Unlike a hybrid car，which is fueled by gasoline and uses a battery andmotor to improve efficiency，an electriccar is powered exclusivelyby electricity. Historically,EVs have not been widely adoptedbecauseof limiteddrivingrange before needing to be recharged，long recharging time，and a lack of commitment by automakerstoproduceand market electriccarsthathave allthecomfortsof gas－ powered cars.Thatschanging.Asbatterytechnologyimprovesby simultaneously increasingenergy storageand reducingcost，major automakersare expectedto introduce a new generation of electric cars. Electric cars produce no tailpipe emissions，reduce our dependency on oil，and are cheaper to operate.Of course，the process of producing the electricity moves the emissionsfurtherupstream to the utilitycompanys smokestack，but even dirty electricity used in electric cars usually reduce our collective carbon footprint. Another factor is convenience. In one trip to the gas station，you can pump 330 kilowatt－hours of energy into a 10－gallon tank. It would take about 9 days to get the same amount of energy from household electric current.Fortunately，it takes hours and not days to recharge an electric car，because the process is much more efficient. Justas themajor carcompanieswere reducingtheirelectriccarprograms in 2004 and 2005，theperfectstormwas brewing on thehorizon:a combinationof growing acceptance of global warming，oil price increases and runaway sales of the
