"Certain cars can't accurately be judged on a choreographed press junket. Take a minivan for instance. To properly evaluate such a vehicle requires a road trip with a spouse and kids."

Ok enough of these short videos review the vehicles already...

No link in the description. Cut the teaser crap, not a good way to increase traffic to your site. Big turn off.

@skoshy Um, I see the link.

@Goremaster Even though they are digging the coal out and burning it it is still much less harmful to the environment than refining fuel. the fullychargedshow on youtube is very informed on this stuff...I didn't know as much till I watched that show.

@alekliskov I see your points, my province runs off Hydro power and has put in that effort to do so. So I don't see the harm here at all ;) One thing to keep in mind though is that an EV is 10-15 times less harmful than a gasoline engine simply from the fact that there is no harvesting/transporting/refini­ng to get your electric energy like you get from gas. I just wish EV's went further and didn't need precious minerals from the Chinese.

@Goremaster Sure... Well, if you want to get technical, I can also ride a bike and get my electricity that way but the fact of the matter is that 95% of the electricity in my state is being extrapolated by coal. Thus, having an electrically powered car in my state is 95% likely to pollute the environment.

@davesecx I would drive an EV...but I will wait 2-3 years when they can go 400-500 kms (300miles). By then there might actually be charging stations in Canada too!

[Goremaster]

@alekliskov If you don't want to use coal you can always anti up for a solar panels on your roof. Don't blame Nissan for how your power is generated.

Why a teaser? The Leaf has been available here in the Washington DC area for some time now.
