Ever since I caught a glance of the CVI Electric car that zips around Washington Park, I've wanted to get a better view of it.

I was taking pictures of the election signs at Washington Park and was delighted to see that the electric car owner parked nearby. I didn't get a chance to talk to him though.

The Nov 13, 2008 Illinois Times ran an article on this car.

Their vehicles look just like yours and mine but with one big difference: their fuel comes not from Saudi Arabia but an electric outlet. We call them little juice coupes.

Another alternative energy car!
A Wind-up VW bug!
I bet Jay Leno doesn't have one of these in his collection.

The electric cars get special EL license plates.
Is there a WU plate for these wind-up vehicles?

I wonder if this might be an "e-volk" ?
