The EV1 Electrifies Audience at Renewable L.A.
American Hi Definition and Sweetwater Digital of Van Nuys, CA, hosted the first annual Renewable L.A., a day long "consumption-lite" eco fest, celebrating renewable energy and transportation. In addition to test rides of two Vectrix Maxi-Scooters and three ZENN's, the over 300 visitors who attended the event had a special treat when an EV1, one of the handful not notoriously crushed in 2005 by the all-electric car's maker, GM, made a surprise appearance, driving onto the event's parking lot. Matt Kelly spoke with Alexandra Paul, actress, EV1 advocate and activist, who appeared in the movie "Who Killed the Electric Car?", about the momentous occasion.
