Plugincars.com recently put out a couple of “guides” that make fun of all the anti-EV arguments — they’re up to two chapters now. Kinda fun:

I definitely encounter these folk now and again — one today at a biking group lunch of eight or so who were otherwise enthusiastic.
Pictures and video from a meetup of San Francisco Bay Area owners of Nissan LEAFs – “Bay LEAFs”:
Look at my new shiny! An all electric Nissan LEAF. Yay!
After a test drive of the LEAF at the SF Auto Show in November last year and discovering what a fun, surprisingly-roomy little vehicle it was, I knew I wanted to drive electric, even if it meant giving up my Audi A3.
Unfortunately, I also discovered that the waiting list was already closed, so I immediately jumped on the reservation list for the still-under-development Tesla Model S instead. But this week I found out that I could take home an “orphaned” LEAF immediately despite the waiting list (though, for a premium). This is a vehicle that somebody ordered but then decided to back out of – the dealers are selling them to other buyers willing to pay a little extra. So I get to enjoy it while still waiting to see what comes of the Tesla Model S.
Awesome! Driving electric now!
Look what just showed up on my doorstep – a gift for all Tesla Model S reservation holders:
Clay and I went to the Palo Alto Concours d’Elegance at Stanford to see some classic cars… and the Tesla Roadster!
Okay, it was really just to see the Tesla but the classic cars were great too!
