Hey everyone!
Great to join a forum about electric cars!
I’ve been interested in EVs for a while. I test drove the Smart EV last week and got pretty excited! Being a graphic designer, I got inspired to create a website for owners of EVs to review their cars.
Was looking for some feedback from EV enthusiasts 
What do you all think??
Thanks!

Hi Sparkk
First of all, welcome to the forum
That theme looks very interesting.
I was wondering if you could post some details about your test drive of the SMART EV?

Hi Mark,
Here’s the review of the Smart EV that I posted on Sparkk.me
[I]I test drove the Smart forTwo EV last Monday in Santa Monica, which was the primary inspiration for creating this website. This was part of their FunTestDrive tour.

That’s what I posted on Facebook the evening after my test drive and it summarizes my initial reaction to the Smart EV! Let me explain:
As I was walking to the test driving location, I saw two or three Smart EVs being test driven by other people. They had the biggest smile on their faces. As they accelerated from a stoplight, you could hear a barely audible whirl. One of them was a convertible. I shouted from the sidewalk how he liked it. He exclaimed “Love it! All electric you know??” and whirled off. It felt like I was in line at Disneyland ride, eagerly anticipating the upcoming fun!
My test drive was also a lot of fun! My dad has a gasoline Smart and I’d driven that. But the Smart EV is a whole other level of gocart feel! It felt solid next to large SUVs, but very nimble while accelerating and cornering.
After going around a few blocks, I dutifully returned the car, parking it next to several other little Smart EVs. I felt that familiar mixed set of emotions after a thrilling theme park ride: loved it!!! damn: it’s over already; I have to get out; lucky next person who’s going to ride next; can we go again???
So if you want everyday to feel like a day at Disneyland, snap up a Smart EV!!!
The only reason I gave the Smart EV a 4 star was it’s subpar MPGe. Apparently it’s less efficient than the Nissan Leaf, but it’s practically half the car! I’m sure that’ll change in a generation or two. Details, details…[/I]
Hi Sparkk
I was wondering how you expect the future of electric cars to pan out? How long before there are more electric powered cars than gasoline cars?
