New Blogging Strategy

As it turns out, running a blog regularly is rather difficult. What with unexpected events popping up and an already crowded schedule, finding the time to write an entry can be daunting. Therefore, from now on, EVangelist will be running WEEKLY REPORTS and round-ups as opposed to randomly scheduled but frequent postings.

Of course, if something extremely important comes up, like Tesla announcing a new Gigafactory or an all-new electric car being revealed, EVangelist will give that top priority and scramble to cover it immediately.

History has been made!

Someone's finally gone ahead and combined the best of both worlds - two of the hottest Silicon Valley topics as of right now. I am talking, of course, about the world's first completely 3-D-printed car, the Strati; it just so happens that in addition to its other cool factors (a carbon fiber body frame and an $18,000 base price among them), it's fully electric. Not only that, it has a 120 mile range, which is longer than any other sub-$50k electric car on the market. It may have its limitations (let's face it, no one would seriously consider this as an alternative option to any other car, because the Strati has a 40 mph top speed) but it's another day, another record, another talking point for electric vehicles.

Drive Electric Week

Hello, viewers! This week is National Drive Electric Week, an event set up by the Sierra Club, the Electric Auto Association, and Plug In America. This week has been set up and organized in order to attempt to educate the public about electric cars, and to allow them to get a chance to test drive one and see what they think. Dozens and dozens of separate associations and companies have been contacted, and asked to provide a greater focus on electric cars and an easier opportunity to test-drive them.

What this means for you, reader, is that now is the time (if you haven't already) to get out there and drive that electric car you've been eyeing! Maybe it was that small but spunky Chevy Spark EV, or the electric workhorse, the Nissan LEAF. Maybe it was the sleek, incredibly quick Tesla Model S. Whatever the case, treat this week as the moment to get out there and decide for yourself about electric vehicles. There could be a future for one in your driveway.

Hello, World.

Greetings, potential supporters! I have started EVangelist in order to attempt to convert people to the electric cause. More precisely, to the cause of electric vehicles, hence the not-very-clever name.

In any case, as the editor-in-chief of EVangelist, I would like to proudly proclaim that yes, this blog is probably biased. So is everything you read nowadays. At least we aren't trying to hide it.
