I have a lifelong phobia of organizing get-togethers. I avoid anything more complicated than having my book club over for a potluck.
So what did I say when Zan Dubin Scott, Plug In America's Communications Director, asked me to recruit EVs for National Plug In Day’s Santa Monica parade?

In some ways, it's a bit premature to be reaching out to auto dealers, since most of them aren't yet selling electric vehicles (EVs) or plug-in hybrids (PHEVs). On the other hand, now is the time to let them know that Plug In America can help them succeed when they do start selling plug-ins. They could avoid some of the mistakes made by dealers with the last generation of EVs. We want them to succeed!

The iMiEV cargo is based on the all-electric iMiEV's body and drivetrain. The back of the vehicle has been completely redesigned from the iMiEV to achieve of 60 cubic feet of storage space. Further details haven't been announced, but it is likely that it will have similar specs to the iMiEV.
