A man charges up a Paris Autolib electric car at a parking station in Paris.  A fleet of little silver cars in Paris is showcasing France’s gamble on electric vehicle technology in a project that backers say is even helping to narrow the capital’s social divide. Autolib has won 70,000 clients since its launch in late 2011. Drivers pick up one of the electric cars at a recharging bay, make their journey and leave it at another bay for other Parisians to use.
