Electric Car Blog
My name is Angela and with my husband Mike we have produced our electric car blog. This is our diary of our experiences with battery powered cars.
We have owned battery powered cars since 2006 and have also test driven a few new models. We have taken part in interviews with the media and spoken to people involved with electric cars. To keep up to date with all the blog entries follow us on Twitter.
This is our diary of life with a battery powered car.
