Thankfully, the world has birthed the electric car.
However, Electric and Car are its middle and last names. It must be given first names. Names that encapsulate its source of energy would be appropriate and correct many potential misconceptions.
Here are some suggestions and the associated region of use. 鈥淒ammed Valleys鈥� in B.C. 鈥淐arbon Fossil鈥� in Alberta. 鈥淩adioactive鈥� in Ontario.
In the future, maybe some areas will have better choices such as: 鈥淲indmill,鈥� 鈥淪olar Panel鈥� or 鈥淭ides Up.鈥�
In all seriousness, we must come up with a system that correctly spells out what is charging these cars. Otherwise, people will believe that electric cars are electric and do not contribute to, amongst the other problems, C02 pollution.
