CalCars is an enabling organization that seeks to accelerate the adoption of PHEVs. We achieve these goals through advocacy and education as well as through demonstrating technology projects. CalCars itself is a hybrid non-profit organization in that it is comprised of entrepreneurs, engineers, environmentalists and consumers. Our projects tackle national security, jobs and global warming -- at the same time. We are always seeking volunteers to work with us.
