• Resumen

  • The article discusses the creation of a window sticker for automobiles by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that helps consumers compare the efficiency of a plug-in vehicle with that of a gasoline vehicle. An overview of the EPA's sticker, which lists a unit called miles per gallon of gasoline-equivalent (MPGe), a discussion on why consumers will have a hard time using it, and two sticker prototypes from the EPA is presented.
