BMW’s just held an event for the lessees of their Mini E at the Science Center, next to the University of Southern California, a really stellar venue when you consider the product they were showing. I heard today that they expect to have 5,000 Nissan EVs for sale by the end of 2010. You could really feel their excitement.

The losses for the utilities by far outweigh the costs for erecting counting plugs. Follow us on Twitter!
