Originally published on EV Obsession. It’s too bad this video* came out right around the time Volkswagen got busted for horrible fraud, as it’s one of the best electric car commercials I’ve seen. (Thanks to CleanTechnica reader Philip W for passing it along.) On the other hand, maybe it could … [continued]
As many of you know, I’m not a fan of how electric cars have historically been advertised. My favorites to date are probably a 2013 Chevy Spark EV commercial, Nissan & Renault’s “Gas Powered Everything” commercial, and BMW’s Olympics commercials for the BMW i3 and i8. But most commercials for electric vehicles are … [continued]
Here are two more Tesla fan commercials. I don’t really have any commentary to add on these. Just watch ’em.
If you’ve been checking into CleanTechnica for long, you know that I think a lot of electric car commercials really bomb. The messaging is pretty horrible. Explaining a few simple benefits of electric cars (especially amazing acceleration and tremendous convenience). Thankfully, some marketers get it. Check out this Planetsave repost for a good … [continued]
A sure sign of a superior technology—realizing that you screwed up when you went and bought its competitor. Not many electric car buyers go back, but for the ones that do, well, buyer’s remorse is waiting for them. After switching to an Apple computer, I can’t imagine ever going back … [continued]

A new Cadillac ELR ad (like the not-so-great Chevy Volt ad I just wrote about) was unveiled during primetime Olympics coverage. It is pretty sharp, imho. This one aired during the opening ceremonies on NBC (presumably only … [continued]
Apparently, GM hasn’t ditched efforts to sell the Chevy Volt, despite reportedly not caring to increase production to meet demand. To grow demand even further, GM ran the following Volt ad just between the evening news and the start of the Winter Olympics down in Southern California, and perhaps elsewhere. … [continued]
Tom Steyer’s NextGen Climate Action is releasing a new national television ad, “Suckers,” that’s timed to President Obama’s State of the Union address. The ad debunks some obtuse Keystone XL supporter claims implies that tar sands political allies in Canada (such as Prime Minister Stephen Harper) & the US are … [continued]
This is a video created by Tesla Motors, so it is of course all about making the Model S look good (not that hard to do). But it seems that this is genuinely an honest owner testimonial, and I’ve seen many comments along all these same lines from Model S … [continued]
In February of 2012, I wrote a short article about one of my favorite ads ever. The ad was a video from Ecotricity. Ecotricity and Good Energy are two awesome companies (as far as I can tell) that offer green electricity to UK residents… often for even cheaper than the … [continued]
