This. If we look at the list of top-selling “cars” in the U.S., how many of them have a plug-in option? <crickets> For a while there, it was just the Ford Fusion Energi (no comment). Now we have the plug-in RAV4 (if you can get one) and any day now the plug-in Jeep Wrangler will arrive. Aside from Tesla’s offerings, we…

Let’s see, Jeep made it through:

One can love cars and still have a broad perspective.
