Dan Rather drives a Jeep, though he says his next car is likely to be a hybrid. Why? Dan Rather Reports, the in-depth investigative series he hosts on HDNet, is working on an hour-long show about EVs, and he had me and my frequent sparring partner, Matt DeBord of Slate, on to talk about our visions for the automotive future.

Cars of the future
EVs challenge the imagination. Will AAA Road Service Crews carrry battery operated chargers when they go on service calls? Will there be charger stations(replacing gas stations) at each interstate exit. Maybe they can install plugs in power line poles along the interstate as well so if you start running low, you can pull over, and hook-up. The possibilities are truly endless, and exciting. And I can't wait to see these babies hit the road.
