America's 1st Fuel-Free Highway for Electric Vehicles



Although gas prices have been in a downward trend over the past few weeks, states like Oregon are moving forward with providing an infrastructure to accommodate electric vehicles. Ironically, last
month the Chevy Volt, a gas-electric operated vehicle, sold a whopping 1,760 units, while Nissan's Leaf, an all-electric vehicle, sales slipped to just 531 sales. To put this in perspective, in June 2011 Nissan sold 1,708 Leafs, while GM sold only 561 Volts. What a difference a year make? We're still wondering if consumers are willing to pay the surcharge to embrace an-all electric vehicle.
