For you SUV lovers out there, take a trip to Cali and buy an electric SUV.

"In addition to generating zero emissions, the revolutionary 67-hp motor is
capable of approaching 78 mph, more than adequate for both street and
highway driving."

"Utilizing 24 high-capacity, nickel-metal hydride batteries, the RAV4 can
travel up to 126 miles on a single charge. For most of us, that's enough to
get us to work and back.*"

"*Actual range will vary depending on your driving habits."


Looks like people are finally begining to take eco-vehicles seriously.  Say
goodbye, aircar.
