What Are You Willing to Pay to Reduce Carbon Emissions in Your Neighborhood?


For most North Americans, their car is their lifeline, and giving it up entirely may not be realistic. Still, your gas-guzzling SUV isn’t always necessary to get you from point A to point B. According to the most recent National Household Travel Survey, the average car trip was about 16 kilometers in 2009, while the average distanced traveled to work was 20 kilometers.

Using Neighborhood Electric Vehciles (NEV) just makes sense these days. With some of the models costing as little as 1 cent per kilometer to operate why would you choose something else?

Face it. If your daily commute is about 40 kilometers or less, you will be better off in a Neighborhood Electric Vehciles (NEV).

In addition to the cost savings, NEVs don’t pollute the environment, because you don’t need to put fuel in them, they don’t release any harmful toxins in the air, which drastically reduces air pollution, especially when there are currently more than 2 billion cars on the road.
