Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Commercial Scores (Ft. Dante’s Inferno & Flying Pigs)
Whimsy seems to be the watchword for commercials advertising hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles right now. A few days ago, Hyundai started airing a pair of delightfully amusing ads featuring ordinary citizens singing a song that begins, “I’d like to buy a hybrid car but I’m not sure it’s for me.” It then shows a series of folks like construction workers, court reporters, dog groomers, and karate instructors. In 60 seconds, the ads destroy all the common misconceptions about hybrid cars.
Fan-Made Chevy Bolt EV Ad Is Better Than Many GM Ads (Video)
A great fan-made Chevy Bolt EV ad recently came to my attention, one that seems worth reposting here. After watching it, I have to wonder — why doesn’t GM/Chevy make ads like this itself?
Opel Ampera-e (Chevy Bolt EV) Commercial Has Some Humor To It …
Advertisements for electric vehicles have, to date, been rather underwhelming on the whole. Or non-existent, in the case of conventional ads for Teslas. Would a good ad help to boost sales? Probably, but that would entail that many manufacturers actually want to move electric vehicles in serious numbers.

Tesla Woven Into Carl Sagan’s Vision For The Future
Tesla doesn’t make commercials, but that hasn’t stopped dozens of commercials from popping up all over the web. What’s awesome and inspiring about them is that they are made by the fans. Tesla doesn’t support or endorse any of them, but they just keep bubbling up. The cherry on top … [continued]

Citroen Announces Electric e-Mehari
Originally published on GAS2. Back in the 1960s, Citroen made a very funky open vehicle that was just for fun called the Mehari. According to Inside EVs, that’s a nickname for a particularly fast camel. The car was sort of a cross between a Mini Moke and a dune buggy. It … [continued]
The 2016 LEAF Is Out! (Don’t Tell Anyone.)
Back in September, I got on Nissan’s mailing list to be the “first to know” when the 2016 LEAF was released. I also asked a local Nissan dealer to contact me when it was available. Neither one contacted me. One would think that the biggest update to the LEAF in … [continued]
Wonderful New Tesla Fan Commercial
Originally published on EV Obsession. It’s hard to call this the best Tesla fan commercial yet since it doesn’t really highlight any of the Tesla Model S’s awesome features (other than it’s cool look). “Gallons of Light” was certainly an awesome commercial that is hard to compete with. But hey, it’s … [continued]
