We’re not sure, but we’re guessing that the all-electric Nissan LEAF might eventually go down as the most ad-wrapped vehicle in history, though we’re also guessing that the Toyota Prius probably holds the ad-wrap crown for now.

We thought it would be fun to track down pictures of some ad-wrapped Nissan LEAFs. We can’t claim to have found them all, but just a half hour’s worth of Googling brought in quite a few pics of ad-wrapped LEAFs. And why not – from solar companies to utilities to green-minded high tech firms, linking your marketing message with the green, clean LEAF is clearly a great idea.

Heck, we’re even hoping to do the same thing when we get our own LEAF ;-)

One EV issue that rarely gets talked about is insurance. As production EVs are relatively new, getting insurance for your new electric car could be an interesting experience.

Since an electric car is good for the environment, you may be able to score an insurance discount. Another factor working in your favor is that you may be perceived as a safe and dependable driver. After all, what reckless person would be concerned about saving the environment? The fact that new EVs are also well built could factor into your rates possibly being lower as well.

On the other hand, you might actually have to pay a higher insurance premium for an EV. That’s because EVs are still more expensive to purchase than comparable gasoline powered vehicles.

Is a plug-in Prius greener and more economically efficient to produce than a pure EV such as a CODA EV Sedan. A recent study says yes.

Are plug-in hybrids generally more environmentally friendly and economically efficient to produce than pure EVs?

They may be according to a study conducted by Carnegie Mellon University and summarized recently by Edmunds Auto Observer.

According to the CMU researchers, EVs with larger battery packs may actually produce more emissions than those with smaller packs -- depending on where and when the vehicles are plugged in.

In recognition of America’s first-ever National Plug In Day, members of the Denver, Colo. Area electric vehicle community gathered for Denver Metro Clean Cities Coalition’s (DMCCC) “Show, Shine and Dine” event at Denver’s Sustainability Park Sunday.

As was the case in 19 other U.S. cities which held National Plug In Day Events, multiple EVs were on display in Denver. Many attendees also watched a screening of the new documentary called “What is the Electric Car?”, checked out EV engines, spoke with EV experts and viewed displays by such organizations as Xcel Energy, the Colorado Governor’s Energy Office, Imbue Strategy and Canopy Airport Parking.

Among those in attendance was Denver local channel 7news’ Chief Meteorologist, Mike Nelson. Nelson greeted attendees and spoke energetically about the potential behind the EV and solar synergy.
