Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

What would be even better than overhead wires on long haul highways would be overhead wires over rail!

I was about to say if we keep going down the overhead wire route we’ll just end up reinventing the train
