TechnoSanity #41: Interview with Mark Perry, Nissan LEAF

Recently Nissan brought the LEAF to the SF Bay Area to show it around. They're conducting a nationwide tour with the LEAF. I was fortunate enough to have press access to test drive the prototype vehicle. It was built from a Nissan Versa and has the LEAF drive train.

I wrote up a review: Nissan LEAF (almost) test ride, impressions, and the LEAF tour

TechnoSanity #40: Nissan LEAF test drive event

At the just finished San Francisco Auto Show, among the sea of gas burning vehicles from major manufacturers, I found two cars one could rightly call "Electric". One was the Nissan LEAF due to enter mass production in the fall of 2010. The other was a pair of replica sports cars which MakeMineElectric.com constructed as electric cars. They are an EV Conversion shop located in Sebastapol, CA. Their shop is located in what used to be a Ford dealership on the main drag.
