My Pursuit of the Ultimate EV

My Pursuit of the Ultimate EV http://www.evcast.com/members/evcast/blog/VIEW+00000002 I am in the market for a new car. I have committed 100% to go electric / plugin hybrid. Follow me on my journey of discovery: the discovery of the future! en Copyright 2008, EVcast Sun, 27 Jul 2008 11:12:26 GMT Sun, 27 Jul 2008 11:12:26 GMT I am a Proud EV Owner! http://www.evcast.com/members/evcast/blog/VIEW+00000002+00000054#00000054 I am now the proud owner of Vectrix Scooter as well as a position on the Tesla waiting list.  My scooter will be delivered on Tuesday of this week -- about 2 weeks earlier than promised.  My wait for this was only about 5 days.  As for the Tesla, I did put down the large deposit and I am assured my place in line -- about number 900.  This means, my car is scheduled for delivery in July of 2009.  I should have a few good months of driving here in New England before I have to put it away for the winter. <a href="http://www.evcast.com/members/evcast/blog/VIEW+00000002+00000054#00000054">Read More »</a> Sun, 27 Jul 2008 12:11:23 GMT Whipping Out the Wallet... http://www.evcast.com/members/evcast/blog/VIEW+00000002+00000048#00000048 Back from my west coast trip.  My tour of Tesla and my test ride (they would not let me drive - insurance issues) made it clear to me that I will be getting the Tesla -- but delivery will still be about a year away. <a href="http://www.evcast.com/members/evcast/blog/VIEW+00000002+00000048#00000048">Read More »</a> Sat, 19 Jul 2008 15:09:54 GMT Getting Ready To Whip Out the Wallet http://www.evcast.com/members/evcast/blog/VIEW+00000002+00000035#00000035 I am headed down to the Silicon Valley area in a couple of weeks to hopefully settle on an EV.  I have several appointments setup for interviews, but also test driving a couple of cars. <a href="http://www.evcast.com/members/evcast/blog/VIEW+00000002+00000035#00000035">Read More »</a> Thu, 03 Jul 2008 11:53:06 GMT Myers Motors' "NmG" http://www.evcast.com/members/evcast/blog/VIEW+00000002+00000005#00000005 One of the two pure EVs available today in the US (not counting Tesla which has a 15 month waiting list) is the "NmG" by MyersMotors (<a href="http://www.myersmotors.com/">http://www.myersmotors.com/</a>).  This is really cool looking personal transportation vehicle that comes in just about any color imaginable.  If you want attention, you will get it with this guy! <a href="http://www.evcast.com/members/evcast/blog/VIEW+00000002+00000005#00000005">Read More »</a> myers motors nmg ev electric car Mon, 26 May 2008 11:30:03 GMT ZapWorld Cars http://www.evcast.com/members/evcast/blog/VIEW+00000002+00000004#00000004 Looking at one of the few available electric cars on the market today, <a href="http://www.zapworld.com">http://www.zapworld.com</a> now offers a product called the "Xebra", a dorky (dorky is the new cool) looking electric car with what appears to be technology from the 70's.  But hey, it is an electric car available today, in the USA. <a href="http://www.evcast.com/members/evcast/blog/VIEW+00000002+00000004#00000004">Read More »</a> Fri, 23 May 2008 20:04:01 GMT The Tesla Roadster http://www.evcast.com/members/evcast/blog/VIEW+00000002+00000003#00000003 I forgot to mention that I do have quite a bit of money to spend -- assuming it is the right car and it is worth it.  Enter the hot Tesla. <a href="http://www.evcast.com/members/evcast/blog/VIEW+00000002+00000003#00000003">Read More »</a> teslaevelectric car Fri, 23 May 2008 12:38:20 GMT My Needs http://www.evcast.com/members/evcast/blog/VIEW+00000002+00000002#00000002 I am a 36 year old father of two young children (8+7 year olds) and husband.  We are, by statistical account, pretty much your typical American family.  My wife is a homemaker and drives our kids around all day after school, and I have an office 5 miles away from my home. <a href="http://www.evcast.com/members/evcast/blog/VIEW+00000002+00000002#00000002">Read More »</a> Fri, 23 May 2008 12:16:17 GMT
