The email I received seems to auto generated as it assumes I am attempting to
get answers to homework.  I am researching information for a new car purchase,
much different than a homework request if you would.  I'm in the military and
our base does use some CNG vehicles, but most are standard gas.  I used to live
in Arizona, where I have seen the electrical recharge stations and assume they
must go to the EV1, since it is offered in CA and AZ only.
