The veteran anchorman and 60 Minutes host hosted me and frequent sparring partner Matt DeBord (car blogger for Slate) on his HDNet program. And then I reversed the camera and interviewed him about EVs.

Dan Rather drives a Jeep, though he says his next car is likely to be a hybrid. Why?

And I can't wait to see these babies hit the road.
