That’s awesome to see so many manufacturers embrace the EV. I’m most excited about the Tesla Model S and the REVA NXR.
Those are two very different cars — I’m curious why they’re your faves.
Hah! You saved me some work, again, Josie. I’ve been putting off doing this piece for a couple days.
Now, I can just link to you and plug the wonderful world of GigaOm at the same time.
As ever, thank you for doing the heavy lifting.
I’ve removed it, Josie.
Thanks Eidard. You like the Kia Sorrento diesel hybrid, eh?
