Quotes about Electric Vehicles from the world's top natural health / natural living authors
"We have to explore hydrogen like we have explored electric vehicles, although, ultimately, the EVs [electronic vehicles] did not catch on the way some people thought they might. We found people did not like the inconvenience of finding special limited sites for charging them; again, no infrastructure existed."
So was I driving the car of the future? Or was I in an engineering relic, a wrong turn, and evidence of a mutation on the genetic transportation highway?" - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)
"The plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are superhybrids with larger batteries. "This gives drivers the ability to run entirely on electric power at highway speeds for 20-plus miles. For long trips, the battery never runs down."29
In New York City, the big question, however, is how much legroom commuters expect from their taxis. Environmentalists in New York City were keenly interested in seeing some of the taxi fleet converted to hybrids. The hybrids approved for use, for now, however, had smaller foot and legroom than the other roomier fossil fuel cabs."

| "China is also currently the world's number-one market for electric vehicles. According to Beijing's China Bicycle Association, more than 10 million electric bikes and scooters were sold in China in 2005 alone—that's nearly three times more electric bikes sold than autos. Electric bikes are inexpensive, easy to operate, and well suited to the crowded urban Chinese streets. Most are made by a variety of competitive small manufacturers and are used for intracity transit and deliveries." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)
