- Not an EV related story (although they did announce plans for a Plug-in Hybrid Vespa last year) but Vespa is holding a Vespanomics contest with Vespas as the prizes. If you won one, you could always convert it to electric!
- Zap just got a million dollar order for their electric vehicles from a distributor in Canada.
- Speaking of scooters and electric vehicles, ran across a couple mentions of the Motorino HTH electric scooter. Here’s the specs. The site offers other electric scooters and bikes.
- Great news from Nissan, all of their new models will include a fuel efficiency gauge. I’ve found with our first EV and even our Prius, that knowing how much “juice” a given driving style saves or wastes makes it much easier to optimize than trying to aggregate mpg over a tank of gas. Darin’s metrompg.com has proven that time and time again.
