    Drive Change. Drive Electric. Really?

    I was able to get NESCAUM to at least add a sort of disclosure that the "Available Electric Cars" were (only) from campaign partners. That's a little more forthright, but still not enough for this campaign to earn my support, nor I'm sure legions of other EV advocates...especially Tesla owners...

    Drive Change. Drive Electric. Really?

    FYI: Tesla is not a part of the Association of Global Automakers or the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, all the dealerships partnering in the campaign are. Therefore, the dealerships' models are the ones featured on the website and Tesla's three currently available models do not appear in...

    Encouraging EVs - Rebates or Destination Chargers

    Paid Workplace charging is consider the best solution to the apartment dweller/condo problem by many policy makers, and I agree. Where else do people spend 8 to 10 hours a day almost every day, and have an established relationship that could ensure access and ease of payment? Even level one...

    Encouraging EVs - Rebates or Destination Chargers

    Consumer Education is still the biggest obstacle, IMO To a certain extent I agree - in that for any money spent on incentives or charging stations, there needs to be money spent on education and outreach initiatives related to the incentives, stations, and perhaps most important of all, the...

    Here's where anyone can send an actually email, as the we form is dodgy: [email protected] I sent a stronger message warning of possible legal action, as Tesla's motors do not contain any rare earths.

    Anti-Tesla Gibberish

    That's because in addition to the good folks here, myself and several others from the Volt facebook page emailed the author "mat" and cc'd the editor, very politely but with firm fact and calculation corrections (I counted at least 7 with regards to the Volt cost per mile alone!) He originally...

    National Plug in Day EVent in S.Central New England (CT, MA, RI): 28-Sept-13

    My Dad lives just outside Manchester as well!

But as a result, got 71 mpg (59 MPGe) for...
