Amanda Congdon (ex-Rocketboom video-blogger) is now driving across America in a Ford Hybrid, supported by Environmental Countdown. In a recent episode she visits the University of Wisconsin and gets to drive a “refurbished” EV1.

The EV1 is the “star”, so-to-speak, of Who Killed the Electric Car. It’s great to see at least one of the vehicles avoid the scrap heap and being used to teach the next generation of engineers in the details of electric and hybrid technology.
