While the first electric vehicles were great for commuting, their limited range about 100 miles on a charge kept them close to home. Now a bumper crop of new electric cars, with bigger batteries and fast charging connectors, is headed for the market, allowing EV drivers to expand their horizons.
“Once you see the abundance of charging stations, it takes the anxiety out of taking a road trip in an EV,” says Dave Nichols, an editor at GreenCars.com, which provides information and shopping advice for hybrids and electric cars.

Salt Lake County prosecutors recently determined that Omar Flores, a police officer with the Unified Police Department in the Salt Lake City area, was not justified in the fatal shooting of 28-year-old Bryan Peña-Valencia.
