 My husband and I made a pact to never buy a new internal combustion engine car again. This car has to perform for the errands and chores of everyday life. This is our family car, and it's been everything we needed it to be and more. There's three types of electric vehicles. There's the hybrid, which is a gas engine with an electric motor that increases the efficiency. There's the extended range, which is an electric powered car that has an onboard gas engine to boost or charge those batteries. And then there's a full electric vehicle. The Tesla that we have has the capacity to go around 265 miles. Right now 42% of us can use an electric car without any changes to our daily routine. I don't even think in terms of miles per gallon anymore. The electric motor is so efficient, we've reduced our monthly gas cost by $400. When we first started looking at an electric vehicle, we had a sense of that range anxiety being very real. The range anxiety has all but melted away completely. There's plugs everywhere.
