EDITOR,

Normally, I write about other people’s lives, but this time I’ve been asked to share a little of my story.

My friend Richard Coffey likes being able to drive his electric car in the carpool lane, even when he’s alone. He likes not spewing carbon into the air when he’s idling at a stoplight. But what he likes best about driving his 2012 Chevy Volt is that it saves him money.
