Science Cafe Concord has gotten recharged over its holiday break and returns next Tuesday (Jan. 17) to discuss an electrifying topic: Electric cars.
The monthly discussion-in-a-bar series will take your questions about the present and future status of cars that use electrons rather than gasoline to propel themselves. Are they a fad or the future of transportation, since Chevrolet has just introduced a long-range electric car? Do they make sense in a spread-out state like New Hampshire? Should you buy one?
The free series meets at 6 p.m. in the upstairs room of The Draft, 67 S. Main St. Bring your questions; panelists include Rebecca Ohler of the state Department of Environmental Services and longtime electric-vehicle advocate; Robert Willis, chief electrical inspector for Formula Hybrid electric-car racing and engineer; and Mike Mercer, technical service director for Banks Chevrolet, who can talk about Chevy’s new all-electric Bolt.
