Hi everyone,

I've been in the automotive business for 35 years and after seeing "Who Killed the Electric Car" I decided the future was electric. We have been doing VW Vanagon upgrades for about 10 years now, see smallcar dot com, and have recently been working on a plug-in conversion for classic VW Bugs. I am not here to promote either business but to get ideas that relate to aerodynamic efficiency and to explore ideas relating to a hybrid design for AWD vehicles. I'm looking forward to learning a lot.

Thanks,

Brian

PS: We had the domain NewLeafEV dot com before Nissan registered the name Leaf.
