Hey Sarah; Another email from SF Bay area,Thanks again for the friendship.I hang out on the Planet Better Place site a lot and over a year ago they picked the Nissan Rogue as the Planet Better Place car.I went to the Nissan website to check out how progress was going toward making their Rogue an EV to realize they are also "more ahead" on making what they call a Nissan Cube an EV.I can send a picture of each.
Nice Holiday
Peter
