April 19: Electric car excitement remains limited in Maryland (The Baltimore Sun)

For Tom Blanks, driving an electric car came down to pure mathematics.

Blanks, of Rodgers Forge, converted the miles per gallon and kilowatt hours per charge (the measure of electric fuel efficiency) of each option he was considering into a simpler statistic: dollars per mile. With only a short commute downtown from Towson, he leased a Nissan Leaf.

Next year, he'll buy a Tesla.
