5 reasons your next car will be electric<\/span><\/b><\/a><\/h1>\n

At the end of 2009, electric cars connected to smart grids have become inevitable. Get used to the idea of plugging in before hitting the road.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n
Take a look at that gas-guzzler in the driveway. Are you ready to wave goodbye in favor of something cleaner, greener and plugged in?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At the end of 2009, there\u2019s no turning back: We\u2019re going to electrify the world\u2019s auto fleet, and soon. I know, I know \u2014 besides hybrids, there aren\u2019t a lot of green cars on your radar right now. Today, 100 percent zero-emission battery-powered cars are scarce on the ground \u2014 there’s a motley assemblage of 3,000 of them registered. You can buy a Tesla Roadster if you have a spare $109,000 lying around. Wheego will sell you a Whip, which is a battery-powered \u201cneighborhood\u201d car that can be used locally on roads with speed limits below 35 mph. And there are a few highway-worthy cars on the international market, including the Indian-made Reva, the Chinese-made BYD E6 and the Norwegian Think City.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But despite all this, your next car (or maybe the one after that) will be electric: a hybrid, plug-in hybrid or battery car. That\u2019s where the auto industry is going, where the world is going. By this time next year, the picture will be dramatically different, with a host of consumer choices, from the sexy Fisker Karma and the versatile Volt to the ultra-cool Coda.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Gas cars won\u2019t disappear overnight, but they will do a slow fade. And here\u2019s five reasons why:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. \n
  2. \n
  3. \n
    The smart grid.<\/b> We\u2019re just starting to optimize our antiquated electric system<\/a>, but the way forward is clear. Utilities are partnering with automakers to enable the easy charging of millions of EVs at night without adding new plants. Off-peak electricity production and transmission capacity could fuel the daily commutes of 73 percent percent of all cars, light trucks, SUVs and vans on the road today if they were plug-in hybrids, a 2007 study<\/a> by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory found. What\u2019s more, solar car charging is becoming a reality<\/a>, and that means a 100 percent zero-emissions loop \u2014 the answer to any critic who says that EVs get all their power from dirty coal plants. Even today, with 52 percent of U.S. electricity generated by coal-fired power plants, Plug-in America reports that EVs reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and most other pollutants compared with conventional gas or hybrid vehicles.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  4. \n
  5. \n
    Plugging in.<\/b> You\u2019ll have a charging station at home, at work and at play. Starbucks and McDonald\u2019s will have them, and so will the big-box store down the street. Car charging will become ubiquitous <\/a>\u2014 offering you $3 and $4 electrical fill-ups. Some retailers will even offer 15-minute fast charging free to get you in the door.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    <\/div>\n
    For all these reasons and more, your next car will have a plug. And it will be fine, trust me on this.<\/div>\n
