Electric vehicles can improve energy security for the transportation sector due to their ability to utilize any energy source. This means that they can endure embargoes, shortages, or benefit from new, efficient powerplant upgrades.

Ken Bossong, Executive Director of the Sun Day Campaign, answered some questions about American energy production and consumption issues for CleanTechnica.
I’ve just been notified by one of my senators, I have two, that the administration has announced a hike in CAFE standards to 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025.
