Found on Bill Nye the Science Guy’s Facebook fan page:
‘Last week, I got to attend the Plug-In Vehicle Show in San Jose, California. I drove the new Nissan …Leaf. It’s an all electric car, and it is fabulous. It has great pick-up, plenty of room, and a remarkable sophisticated instrument system. It has, for example, a moving map that shows a target pattern telling you how far you can drive from where you are with the amount of battery energy you have left. I very much hope to get one someday. It is the first all-electric vehicle I’ve driven that I would be allowed to own. The electric car future is just about here.”
So how do we test drive a Nissan Leaf in the Bay Area? Oh, we only needed to have an immensely successful Science show geared for kids, a catchy name, and a well into triple digit IQ. I guess we’ll have to wait a bit longer for our chance…
