Written by Many would-be owners of electric cars might have figured what if the car runs out of battery halfway on a freeway, what can be done? Charge it up of course! But where? And how?
The people in America just created history by setting up a ‘green highway’ that enables electric cars to have a quick charge. The state of Washington has taken serious efforts to build environmentally- friendly freeways with the world’s first ‘electric highway’ on a USD1.32 million federal grant.
The I-5 highway runs from Washington, California, Arizona and Tennessee and the District of Columbia, and nearly 15,000 charge stations will be plotting the whole stretch.
Because there will be an influx of electric vehicles starting with the Nissan LEAF this December, the state government is wasting no time to cater for the boom in demand for electricity.
With a starting price of USD26,220 (RM82,000) for a LEAF, it’s so competitive that many Americans would make the instant switch without thinking twice, in exchange with their gas-guzzling V8s to the smooth, sharp and super fuel-efficient electric car.
