La Plume Township - It looks like a normal car but look under the hood. This Toyota Rav-4 runs on electricity and is practically silent.

Dr. David Turock says, "The county's addicted to oil. Almost 100 percent of our transportation runs on oil right now, but this is a way to get off that."

Turock owns three electric cars. He brought this one to Keystone College for a week long climate and energy conference. He says "Ditch the gas pump because electric cars save big money. For a car company to survive in the next decade their going to have to embrace this technology, I think."

Dr. Turock's car charges in three to four hours and can hook up to any electrical outlet. This car doesn't have a gas cap. Instead, here in the front, it has an energy port. And after charging up through that energy port, the car can keep on rolling for up to one 150 miles.
   
But while Dr. Turock sings the praises about his car, you won't find many like it on the market. Electric car advocate Chelsea Sexton says, "It's incredibly frustrating that they haven't done this. But I'm really stubborn and I do know that this is the way that they need to go and they're starting to see that."  
   
General Motors plans to develop a new electric car soon. Keystone College says it's on the gas-less car bandwagon. The college has four small electric cars for campus employees. But for now, the electric car movement is just getting charged up.
