Yes. Madison, WI is a notable hub of progressives and environmentalists in the Midwest. It's also one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the country, and it's on the short list of places I'd rather live than than in Buffalo.

I think the guy in the one video is the Ecomodder user "RobertSmalls". I think his name is Matt. He drives a modded Insight.
Guilty. I'll post pics of me sitting in the EV1 with a hand on the wheel and a big grin on my face, once I get back to Buffalo.

I got to meet MNDriver, Daox (learned how to pronouce Daox, too), Bennelson, billy (long time Insight enthusiast and expert hypermiler), and a few others.
