We support the rapid decarbonization of our transportation system because the transportation sector has become the biggest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. To meet this goal, we support the transition to cleaner vehicle technology and increased vehicle efficiency. Electrifying our transportation sector with the increased use of renewable energy and advancing electric vehicles will help accomplish this goal while bolstering our economy, saving consumers money, and reducing our dependence on oil and the threats from offshore drilling.
Trump Admin Advances Reckless Seismic Airgun Surveys in the Atlantic

But I love visiting the country by car so I had to get into my EV saddle sooner or later, no better time to begin than during a nationally recognized week. Locally I was consistently getting greater than 250 miles estimated driving range on a full battery charge, but a 1,200 mile trip would necessitate careful planning to maximize my time efficiency, minimize my cost and not stretch my wits too thin.
