A new web site started by Felix Kramer (a pretty well known guy in the plug in world, associated with CalCars and PlugInAmerica) has started a new, not yet public, web site designed to help the plug-in/EV Curious to meet up with existing plug-in owners of all types, Full EV, commercial plug-in hybrids, and conversions. Currently he's looking for existing Plug-in vehicle owners who are willing to participate in varying degrees. You can volunteer just to display your vehicle at public events, up to volunteering to swap vehicles with someone to allow them some quality time in an plug-in. Whatever your personal comfort level might be. I think this is a laudable project and I think that the PIP community at PriusChat could really be a major contributor to this effort. His plan is to go live during National Plug-in Day on Sept. 23rd. So sign up soon.
