DH loves cars and is always ontop of new things that are going on in the car industry. He just sent me an email about the Drive Green For Life Program. The program is the result of a partnership between Ford and Sunpower Corp. (a solar energy provider). It allows a Ford Focus Electric vehicle to be charged via solar panels on the roof of your house. This offsets the amount of electricity that is needed to charge the vehicles at night and therefore lowers the monthly operation cost of the vehicle. Also, because the Ford Focus electric vehicles run entirely off of electricity stored in the car's battery, there are zero emissions. The cost is roughly $10,000.
Check out this article to learn more about the partnership between Ford and Sunpower Corp. for solar charging Ford Electric and Hybrid vehicles.
I think DH really secretly or maybe not so secretly wants to get one of the new Ford Focus electric vehicles. I have to admit, they are pretty darn cool and of course, let's not forget, environmentally friendly as well :)
