If 2/5 of the cars are gray, then there are (2/5) * (1/3) = 2/15 of the lot's cars that are both gray and electrically powered. Answer: \boxed{\frac{2}{15}}.
Can you simplify that
Sure!

The fraction 2/15 cannot be simplified any further. So, the simplified fraction for the number of cars on the lot that are both gray and electrically powered is \boxed{\frac{2}{15}}.
