EVs are kinda common out here (and so is the Mitsu Mirage).

Spotted a Kia EV today (no time for a picture). Daily, I see Chevy Sparks and Volts, Phev Prii, Leafs, the Fiat 500 EV, that ugly BMW EV, Fit EVs, and others all the time.

Tesla charging stations

At a local mall where there is a Tesla "store" ... these are new cars in the mall parking garage, charging (a 70D , a 85D, and two or three P85D trims):

Other random EVs

Spark EVs are suddenly quite common this spring:

A BMW (also common, unfortunately):

Two Mitsubishi Mirages

This car is suddenly common, but the similar
Nissan Micra I do not see.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
