Battery Electric Cars (BEV)
One of our readers sent us an email a few days ago looking for information on electric cars from my last post on Green Pizza. I have emailed Galactic Pizza and will hopefully hear back from them soon. I did a quick search on the Internet to see what I could come up with.
The first website I headed to was Wikipedia I highly recommend that if you are looking extensive information on BEVs, that you head over to Wikipedia.
According to Wikipedia the definition of a Battery Electric Vehicle is:
A vehicle that utilizes chemical energy stored in rechargeable battery packs. Electric vehicles use electric motors instead of, or in addition to, internal combustion engines (ICEs).
BEV Stats (according to Wikipedia):
• More energy-efficient than all internal combustion vehicles
• Reduce dependence on oil
• Produce no exhaust fumes
• Produces minimal pollution if charged from most forms of renewable energy
• Some BEVs are capable of acceleration exceeding that of conventional gasoline powered vehicles
• Electric vehicles typically cost between two and four cents per mile to operate, while gasoline-powered ICE vehicles currently cost about four to six times as much

Just found your story through lime.com. Don’t forget to include Tesla motors in that mix. They only have the roadster right now, but according to an interview on “The Lazy Environmentalist,” they are planning to build a sedan in the near future.
