The president of the Colorado Automobile Dealers Association says there's a movement to go all electric.

"We've seen a lot of evolution in the Green Car Parade over the years. Everything we sell, everything that's available for sale through dealerships today are virtually 99 percent cleaner on tailpipe emissions than anything we had for sale just 20 years ago," said Tim Jackson.
