For decades, driving a car has meant consuming oil. Today, drivers finally have a choice. Thanks in part to smart policies adopted by states across the country and by the Obama administration, every major automobile manufacturer is offering a new plug-in vehicle powered primarily by electricity. Environment America’s new report, Charging Forward: The Emergence of Electric Vehicles and Their Role in Reducing Oil Consumption, has now found that in just three years, these vehicles could reduce our country’s global warming pollution by about 630,000 metric tons annually--or far more if we continue to work toward a clean energy future. It's time to plug in, power up, and protect our planet, because electric vehicles have arrived.
