FREDERICK -- Paul Garvison of Frederick has found a way to escape the rising cost of traveling by car -- at least for 15 to 20 miles.

Mr. Garvison owns a battery powered Neighborhood Electric Vehicle, which can reach speeds of 30 mph and lasts about 15 miles before it needs to be recharged. The car, white with a checkered stripe on the side, has four seats, but its narrow width allows for only one windshield wiper.

Known as IT, for Innovative Transportation, the Neighborhood Electric Vehicle is made by Dynasty Electric Car Corp. of British Columbia, Canada.

"It is perfect for around town use," Mr. Garvison said.

According to the Electric Auto Association, as many as 10,000 full sized electric cars are on U.S. roads today.
