Seems like the island is small enough that people can drive around quite a bit without charging. And the thing is, electric cars still produce carbon, the electricity has to come from somewhere... If everyone was driving an electric car, we would just have to produce more electricity, which isn't any greener, because we're still using fossil fuels to make it.

My mom owns a Prius, and she's been waiting with baited breath for "the next step." I think Louisiana might take a lot longer to adopt charge stations, but somebody's got to take the first step. Congrats, HI! I’m so happy to see this.
