Hmm. OLED for the display technology. It has been an interesting technology for a long time, but it's operating lifetime hasn't been that great. I wonder if they fixed that. It drives me nuts when they brag about how the reduced power usage will increase range. I'm all for conservation, but

Looks pretty nice. Might be a strong competitor to the Leaf depending on real world experience and pricing. I hope they the "electron storage" doesn't compromise the backseat toespace as much as in the Leaf. Peri -Original Message- From: EV [mailto:ev-boun...@lists.evdl.org] On Behalf O

Kevin; Thanks for the suggestion, but you may have missed a previous post. I just recently put new tires on, and this problem existed prior. Since there was no change with the new tires, I'm guessing they were not the problem. I also replaced drive shaft u-joints and had it balanced. Still no cha

Compliance Car is not a phrase automakers would use at all, nor in the copy they give writers to use (the automaker's staff do the writing-work for the writers, and the writers tweak a few words and then take the credit for the piece).

Bruce, any opinion on the Soul EV? It looks too well designed to be a compliance car but, then, so did some of the other blacklisted models. Peri -- Original Message -- From: "brucedp5 via EV" To: ev@lists.evdl.org Sent: 11-Jun-14 3:49:00 PM Subject: [EVDL] Compliance Cars : EVLN: 201
