Although previously killed by the American government during extreme oil dependency, the electric car has returned from the grave to revolutionize the way we see transportation. The advances in the hybrid and electric technology is comparable to the NASA program that was shut down by Nixon or the green movement of Jimmy Carter, if we had continued in these fields, America's progress would be exponential. Now, the life of the G.M. Volt and Nissan Leaf are in the hands of the E.P.A.
How theEnvironmental Protection Agency rates the two cars, the Chevrolet Volt and Nissan Leaf, could have a big influence on consumers’ perceptions of vehicles that run on electricity. General Motors, which makes the Volt, and Nissan are anxiously awaiting the agency’s decision as they start production of the cars and complete marketing plans for rollouts in December.
Having the newer wave in green technology by these two companies, can result in the rekindling of America's well-known competitiveness, except this time, it's a environmentally safe competition. By allowing these cars to hit the road, all states can benefit from them, regardless of each state's individual laws.
