For years, Plug In America's raison d'être was to get plug-in vehicles from major automakers on the road. Now that these vehicles are available, PIA is slightly shifting focus: to get more and better electric vehicles out there.
To do this, it needs members. In the group's latest email encouraging people to join the movement, there is an interesting line: "The truth is, the plug-in vehicles of today are what cell phones were in 1987; new, and exciting, but a long way from being accessible." When we think about EVs this way and try to remember what a cell phones looked like in 1987 (the closest we can do is The Dude's phone, but that was the early 1990s), then we can't wait for the next few decades of advancement. You?
In other PIA news, did anyone else think that Nissan's "What would the world be like if gas powered everything?" ad was awful similar to the "cell phone" commercial from PIA's series of ads? Yeah, we did, too. You can see both videos and read the entire PIA email after the jump.
