Remember when we used to ask “Who killed the electric car?”
Well, unless you’ve been under a Hummer the last few years, you probably know the world’s car companies are pumping out electric vehicles like never before. This week, the center of the green car universe is Los Angles as the city hosts the International Electric Vehicle Symposium. It the big annual meeting where all the movers and shakers in the plug-in car industry gather to show off their products and talk business.
