I wish I would have gotten a video of Ben driving it, it was alot of fun! and is another electric car checked off my list of electric cars I've driven.
I also got to meet Chris Paine (Who Killed The Electric Car and Revenge Of The Electric Car) thanks to Ben, then an hour or so latter someone else brought him up to me and introduced me to him as well! talked to him for a few minutes, bought him a beer too.
Earlier in the week I met the fellows from Other Power Welcome to OTHERPOWER.COM hung out with them a bit talking about wind turbines and old Volvo's as they drove their 1966 Volvo wagon to Wisconsin from Colorado and have done so a number of times now.
Ben and I, along with my friend Bob and the owner of the DAF gave a presentation on Living With Electric Vehicles, it seemed to go over really well.
There were also two retro fitted plug in Prius's, a 2012 preproduction plug in Prius, a grid tie solar carport with EV charging and of course the Chevy volt was neat to see.
