Cruising down the neighborhood six up

For those of you in need of
electric transportation and with a large family, or a lot of friends, Global Electric Motorcars, a DaimlerChrysler
company, is launching production of an all-new six passenger electric vehicle, to join its lineup of two and four
passenger versions. GEM is the top-selling street-legal all-electric vehicle in the United States, and the company is
expending its operations, with new distributors in Western Europe. While these might be zero-emission vehicles in the
strict sense, people should consider a more environmentally friendly way of getting around the neighborhood: walking.

That's a good call... so few people actually walk anywhere. Even my folks, who are pretty environmentally conscious and fairly active too... they often just hop in the car out of habit. If they had a car like this it would be a lot better, but still, walking is sweet.
Where I'm from the electricity is pretty much all clean, but most of the world gets its electricity from fossil fuels, so until that changes, cars like this won't realize their full potential in terms of the good they can do for the planet.
Walking is a very clean way of getting around... so is biking!
