NANTUCKET, Mass. -- There may be two things you think you know about this little island that aren't necessarily true.
When I was living in Europe with my family in the mid-1970s, we often rented houses on Greek islands. We relished being able to unpack and unplug, to fall into the rhythm of island life, to walk on the beaches, wander through the villages and wind down the day with a cool white wine and a warm pink sunset. When we returned to the United States, we looked for a place that resembled a Greek island but wasn't Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket.

A Maine island could be the perfect proving ground for emerging technologies such as the electric car. With a little help from state and federal energy grants and private money, electric cars could be tested on one of Maine's islands with a year-round population. Even if the results do not clearly suggest the technology is appropriate for mainland use, islanders might find the electric car is the perfect fit for the necessarily short trips that come with island life. The Massachusetts island of Nantucket, 30 miles south of Cape Cod, recently won state energy grants to establish five charging stations for electric cars. With several funding sources, including a settlement from an Ohio power plant for alleged pollution-control equipment violations, that state will construct 105 electric-c...
