golf carts? where?

including:
1) hybrid vehicles
2)neighborhood electric vehicles
3)electric vehicles
4)commercially-available, plug-in hybrid vehicles

so, 4 types of vehicles listed there.

More importantly, NEVs are not “golf carts.” Calling them golf carts implies that they will be used for golf. But that’s not what NEVs are for. NEV is a DOT “classification for speed limited battery electric vehicles.” They have many practical uses, which is why the military, under Bush, decided to lease thousands of them

I bet you didn’t know that the Bush Pentagon decided to lease thousands of “golf carts.” Porkulus!
