Best Buy charges into electric vehicles sales

Would you like an electric bike to go with your new DVR?

Best Buy has started selling electric vehicles, including the Enertia electric motorcycle from Brammo, according to reports.

The company in May started offering electric bicycles, scooters, and Segways at 21 of its west coast stores, according to the Los Angeles Times. This month, the home products retailer will add the Enertia motorcycle to create an electric vehicle line with a range of speeds and range.

Although it may sound like a stretch to offer refrigerators and electric vehicles under the same roof, company representatives said that there is growing interest in electric transportation among its customers.

"Our business is already connecting in people's homes and lives with technology, appliances and computers," a Best Buy representative told the LA Times. "One of the things that's important for the future growth of [our company] is staying ahead of where technology is in people's lives."
