 road infrastructure improved. This has been changing over the last decade 
 with huge public and private investment in electric vehicle development\, 
 driven by increasing fuel costs and government mandates around the world t
 o curb greenhouse emissions. Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) and Plug in H
 ybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) built today are more efficient then their 1
 890 ancestors and have finally become a practical alternative to gas and d
 iesel vehicles. This presentation strives to inform the consumer consideri
 ng the switch to electric about the practical side of EV ownership\; buyin
 g\, charging\, and maintaining your EV to achieve the benefits of making a
 n EV or PHEV your next car purchase.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><img src="https://bar
