In my first Civic issues blog I discussed the history of the electric car and Tesla’s roadmap to electrifying the automotive industry. In this blog I discussed some of the benefits of electric vehicles for example increased efficiency and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, because of this I came to the conclusion that the future […]
