Gas Independence for Independence Day

7/2/2015

0 Comments

 
Independence Days not only bring out the hot dogs and beer, but also a chance to recognize those who include patriotic acts in their daily living. EV'ers have made a deliberate choice to get away from using gasoline, avoid sending money out of the country and being dependent on other countries. Each owner is taking steps on an individual basis to help the local economy, strengthen national security and improve air quality. Individuals may not make big steps alone, but the steps of many does add up.

According to SacEV, there are about 7,000 Electric Vehicles in the Sacramento Region alone, in which local drivers together annually:
  • Drive 70,000,000 miles on electricity
  • Saved 2,800,000 gallons of gas (147,000 barrels of oil or 7% of a super tanker)
  • Saved over 36 million gallons of water (used to refine oil)
  • Saved about $7,000,000 on fuel costs
So, in honor of the fourth of July, let's give a very enthusiastic salute to our patriotic electric car drivers, who are showing us how to be Independent from gas and contribute to our air quality, local economics and national security!

Electric cars are here, they're fun to drive, and driving electric is both practical and patriotic! Way to go Everyone!! Happy 4th of July!!
