The Voice of Bart Simpson Wants You to Check Out Electric Cars Next Week
Sep 12, 2014 | 1 MIN READI knew the fourth annual National Drive Electric Week would be big, but I didn’t realize it would be this big! We’re having free events in 135+ cities September 15-21 to share the fuel cost-saving, clean-air, and fun-driving benefits of electric vehicles; there is probably an event near you. Sierra Club, Plug In America, and the Electric Auto Association -the three national organizers of Drive Electric Week — are pleased to announce this week that we’ve hit the quarter million mark of electric vehicles (EVs) on the road in the US. EVs are turning the corner -and fast.
Even (the voice of) Bart Simpson is excited. “I bought a Nissan Leaf about two years ago,” said The Simpsons actor Nancy Cartwright. “I shaved nearly an hour off my driving to The Simpsons set and back because I can drive in the carpool lane. Got lots of thumbs up on the freeway. That said, I am a HUGE fan of Tesla and can’t wait to ‘fly’ with my ‘falcon-doored’ bird, the Tesla Model X…Aesthetic, functional and sets a great example for safeguarding our environment.”
