 At NPR's DC headquarters, I plugged an address into an all-electric Hyundai. The route guidance will start now. We were headed for a battery recycling company near Boston, we being me and photographer Amanda Andrade-Rhodes, who was documenting the trip and DJing it. I do have a podcast recommendation. Great, go for it. Are you into normal gossip? Yes, yes, okay. We had more than 1,000 miles of driving ahead of us, up and back, with some sightseeing stops, like a visit to the world's second-largest light bulb in Menlo Park, New Jersey. Huh.
