Electric Car Exterior (IMAGE) University of Delaware Caption This shot shows the electric car owned by Willett Kempton, UD professor of marine policy. Kempton plugs in the car at his home every night and on campus during the day. When not in service, he says, it stores enough electricity to power 7-8 houses on his block for 30 minutes.
