Has the time finally arrived for electric vehicles to take hold as a necessity rather than be seen as a novelty?
If the state of Hawaii is to achieve Gov. Lingle’s goal of 70% renewable energy by 2030 electric cars must become a large part of our transportation landscape. Cars and trucks use about a third of the petroleum we import and they are the easiest and fastest way to get to renewability. Power generation and aviation fuel will be much more challenging than converting to electric cars.
