We all remember that Griswold movie – or at least I do! Mention it to anyone over a certain age, and everyone can identify with ‘the lights’. I love lights [as you have likely guessed] and always enjoy them in different contexts.

In an interesting bit of news from the Vancouver Sun, we’re hearing some more from the electric car front. As the article goes on to say…
Over the next couple of years, though, tens of thousands of electric cars will hit the laneways of Europe, the streets of the United States and the gleaming highways of Asia. These new battery-powered vehicles have much longer ranges than their predecessors — up to 250 miles in the case of the Tesla TSLA.O Roadster, but mostly about 100 miles — and are likely to be the first to sell in large numbers.
Of course, like any good technology, there are a few kinks to work out. The biggest one is where would owners of these cars charge up? Some are calling for charging at home, and some want roadside stations where you simply switch for a fully charged battery.
No matter where you stand, there is surely more to come. Stay tuned…
