HOUSTON - Many Americans have traded in fuel-inefficient vehicles through the "Cash for Clunkers" program and hybrid automobiles have been on the roads for several years, but there are some drivers who spend almost no money on gas.
General Motors has the world waiting for the Volt model electric-powered car, but Rick Ehrlich, from Houston Electric Cars Corporation, and Dale Brooks, from the Houston Electric Auto Association, demonstrate some of the electric vehicles that roam the Houston roads already.
Ehrlich and Brooks also explain how they are part of a group
that is pushing for support from the City of Houston for the
vehicles.
