Icelands plug-in vehicle push gets aired with Independent People

The show was about me and my mission of changing things here in Iceland – from gasoline cars to EVs. I had the chance to explain everything about EVs, the infrastructure and the benefits – and also point out that now the biggest barrier is our mind (other things have been solved).
And since I have bought a ticket with Virgin Galactic, my space trip was also one of the topics of the show. I will be the first Icelander to go into space with the Icelandic Flag. The show was a huge hit here in Iceland – and did really wake people up.

Remember the 100 Model S cars sold in Iceland?
I think it's this guy!

He is in a Model S around minute 5 (during the Fremond factory-tour)
14:49 in his office he has photo with Elon Musk and one with Swarzenegger With just above a poster of model S! :biggrin: Photos also made at Fremond I guess!

It makes sense for Iceland to go electric - lots of geothermal/hydroelectric power!
