EV of the Day

I really hope It gets to the point where I can no longer play this game. The game where my daily goal is unfulfilled until I spot an electric car. I win the game most days by spotting Tesla Model S's, Mitsubishi iMEVs, Nissan LEAFs or Chevy Volts. If I excluded the Volts I'd have a much lower win-loss ratio but I include them because they run all-electric for 30 miles or so. Those are my rules. Your game can have its own rules.



In our area it's Volts in first. Teslas a close second, LEAFs third and two adorable iMEVs that tool around. There are signs all around that the EV market is poised to explode. Most car makers are getting into the game with most manufacturers ready to release plug-in hybrids, all-electrics or both for 2014 and 2015. It wasn't so long ago that it was exciting to come across a Toyota Prius. Nowadays if you wanted to play a game finding Priuses it would have to be Prius License Plate Bingo.
