Yesterday, the first 2011 Nissan Leaf was delivered to Lance Armstrong's home. This super cool, 100% electric, zero emissions vehicle will hopefully be one of many electric vehicle's (EV) to be released in the next few years. Although we might like to think otherwise, we are going to run out of oil at some point and we need to start looking to alternatives. These EV's are quiet, can go over 100 miles on a single charge, and best of all they don't pollute the air! Don't worry, I'll stop sounding like a Nissan car-salesman, but really, this car is awesome and there are already 20,000 people on the waiting list to get one... I guess I'd better start saving!
So.. check out the website for the Nissan Leaf EV! And definitely watch the film "Who Killed the Electric Car" if you haven't seen it! It's a really informative documentary that discusses the destruction of the electric vehicle in the US. The film presents the release of the car, the popularity of the vehicle, and its unfortunate destruction; along with the roles that the auto industry, oil companies, and the California government played it in.
Have a good night and TGIF (tomorrow!)
