Electric cars are becoming a popular choice among those who are committed to practicing responsible earth stewardship and who wish to reduce the unhealthy levels of CO2 in our air.

Recently Maine passed landmark legislation, permitting energy efficient electric cars that operate at approximate speeds of 25 mph to share roadways in specified areas of the state, particularly where crowded conditions in summer create cars idling for long periods of time.

This is just one of many steps Maine can take on its way to becoming more environmentally safe and to help reduce childhood asthma in Maine, one of the highest in the country.
