Tester Test-Drives Electric Chevy S10

Dr. Paul Williamson, director of Alternative Energy Technologies at the University of Montana, shows Senator Jon Tester a Chevy S10 pickup he developed that runs entirely on electric power.
Tester visited the Forest Service Technology Development Center in Missoula today as part of his tour of alternative energy projects across Montana.
“This is early generation stuff. It is only going to get better,” said Tester. “It is probably the only pick-up in town that runs on chips,” he added.
Tester was also shown a mobile biomass generator, seen in the background, which uses forest byproducts to generate electricity.
