The Subaru R1e. Our vision of the future. Based on the Subaru R1 minicar sold in Japan, the R1e was developed by Subaru in partnership with the Tokyo Electric Power Company, Inc. (TEPCO). The utility has been testing a fleet of R1e electric cars since 2006. As part of a U.S. test program, two of the Subaru R1e electric cars will join the New York Power Authority (NYPA) fleet.

Looks like an electric Smart Car I'd take one!

didn't Zak post a story about this?

walking out the door, not going to search.

I believe he did, but it was in the middle of a different post... I could be wrong though

Yep, but this one has pics!

IT'S ELECTRIC!




...boogie woogie woogie.

The subaru techs are not happy about this... they're grumpy enough about having to work on diesels eventually... but they're downright hating the thought of electric cars.

Oh noooooooes! They have to actually learn something else/new and do some actual work!

JK!

But, seriously, I hope it isn't like the transition to the new hybrids for Honda and Toyota where there was nobody trained to work on them for the first year or two. They would have to ship in a "Specialist" to work on them...and this person was a "specialist" like I am a black, gay midget that speaks only Cantonese.

Do we still have to quote boards? I think this would be a nice addition.

Oh yes, they definitely made the transition! Added!
