The German government passed a €1 billion incentive package today that should result in subsidies of €4,000 for pure EVs in Germany. Their goal is to deliver one million EVs on German roads by 2020.

Hey Gang, just got done watching Teslabjorn's latest Ampera-e roadtrip video:
It's got me wondering about some of the features the Ampera-e has that we don't have here in the US/Canada. I was aware of the fact that some of the functions are moved to the center console( three blank buttons on...
Monday night, NPR ran a story on EV's in Norway. They said the Ampera-e had a 15 month backlog. That is certainly different than Fremont Chevrolet that had over 100 in stock the last time I talked to the salesman. Of course, they have incredible subsides in Norway and a government that...
