Help show that there is a market for Plug-Ins!

Plug In America

Many SFEVA members also participate in Plug In America, a coalition that originally formed as DontCrush.com: The Campaign To Save Electric Cars. In 2005 the coalition saved hundreds of EVs from destruction by auto companies. Now Plug in America is focusing on getting new EVs to the market. Check out the details at http://www.pluginamerica.com.
