Running on Empty: Cars That Never Need Gas

The Sierra Club reports on an electric car “charged by solar panels on the roof of one’s house. They never need gas, and the power is free after the set-up cost.”

Dickey says the Rav4EV is the best car he’s ever owned. “My wife commutes in it 40 miles a day, five days a week. We drive it for our weekend outings and it does errands that are too far or too bulky for the bicycle. It has never been tuned up, and I’ve spent about $50 total on it for maintenance. My wife has not been to a gasoline station in seven years and 70,000 commute miles—not once!”

His home electricity is free, too. (Well, free after the cost of the solar installation, which is almost paid for.)
