STRATEGY FOR SAVING GASOLINE BY SUBSTITUTING LOW PERFORMANCE ELECTRIC VEHICLES

This paper discusses the use of electric vehicles to save energy. Information is given regarding the current technological limitations to producing and marketing these vehicles and how these can be overcome. Financing the vehicles is a major factor, and the argument is made that they should be financed over a 6-year period with lower insurance rates and the battery provided through a rental system.
