"Electric cars are clean and simple, all it's got is an electric motor and a windshield. Hardly anything can go wrong!"If you want to learn about electric cars, Al Styles is the man to talk to. Al is a 70 year old Middlebury, Vermont resident who loves his "ducky", the name of his Yellow Sparrow Electric Car.
His car is made up of two layers of fiberglass with a lead frame that absorbs all the energy.
Al realized that his truck was inefficient for traveling to and from work, so he was convinced to get a more efficient vehicle...and he did.
Al is very pleased with his new car and is currently on the waiting list to get a new style of Sparrow. It was great to talk to such an enthusiastic person about his car, and it is great because everyone knows it's Al when they see a little yellow egg cruising around Middlebury.
Advice on snow:
-On a snowy day, Al says you should walk up to your electric car and get right into your SUV sitting next to it.
