Sightings: 4 Chevy Volts in 2 minutes
I rarely see a Leaf, but I see the Volt around here increasingly often. Two days ago I saw four in a couple minutes traveling in the high occupancy lanes on the freeway. Each had that special green sticker on the bumper that allows a lone driver to use the HOV lane because of ultra-low emissions--in this case zero tailpipe emissions. Shows you what good public policy can do.
Also have seen two different Fisker Karmas rolling around here. Though that car certainly won't become "common place" in the way the Volt seems maybe it might.
Honda sent me another solicitation for the Fit EV trial leasing program in SoCal that I applied for, and then withdrew from because the lease is just not worth the cool factor. My Civic is cheap and keeps on going like an energizer bunny!
