California is the number 1 state in United States when it comes to plug in hybrid cars and battery electric models. Well, that’s not much of a wonder since the state offers numerous local and statewide incentives, and many utility companies reward customers for choosing an electric car over a fossil-fuel powered vehicle. If we combine all these things, we get a very friendly environment for electric cars. According to the latest report released by non-profit organization Next 10, 5 percent of new-car sales in the state are now electric vehicles. That figure reflects new cars sold du...
As part of the broader plan to catch up with a shift away from sedans Hyundai Motor plans to launch a pickup truck in the United States.
