And BTW that Subaru shown in the picture is their electric not the hybrid. I think I saw one of these across from the County Clerk's office a few months back. Contra Costa county was an electric car testbed in the 90's and I suspect Subaru wanted to see if they would be interested in participating in the same test they are running in New York. Currently the county has some GEM cars and even some Smart cars (they had to return in the EV cars).
