SARATOGA SPRINGS, NEW YORK--When was the last time you were low on gas on the way to your friend's house and thought, "No problem; I'll just plug in when I get there"? Well, some of the cars showcased May 10 to 14 at the 18th annual Tour de Sol were electric vehicles (EVs) that could power-up using ordinary wall outlets--one of many exciting alternatives to standard internal-combustion featured at the upstate New York event.
The annual Tour de Sol is organized by the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association (NESEA), and offers inventors, students and entrepreneurs the opportunity both to showcase their work and compete for $10,000 in cash prizes. Prize categories include vehicles and bikes designed to do around-town errands, and cars suited for long-distance trips.
