BERLIN IS ELECTRIC!


Germany is of course known for its cars being some of the best in the world and Berlin known as the Mecca of Street Art.



This includes the Classic Beetle, that can be seen above, as Electric, burning rubber on the Drag Race track


One can see Electric Cars plugged in all over the city. Above the Three Seater MIA, that goes fast and far enough for city driving and can be found at Lautlos


There are also the Citroen Multicity electric car with fancy Purple Honeycomb design


At the airport, it became very clear that at least 1/3 of all the Taxi's were Hybrids, such as the above line of Toyota Prius's.


The Electric Smart Car could also be seen in the streets and charging at strategically placed chargers.


The above video about the Electric Smart Car with our friend John Voelcker from Green Car Reports, who also wrote a lovely story about CO2 E Drive in New York 2012. Read it HERE.


A little Bird has told us that Tesla is currently installing Super Chargers along the Auto Bahn.

 "With six Supercharger stations already being built in Germany, Musk promised that by the end of March 2014, more than half the German population would be within range of a Supercharge. By the end of 2014, Tesla aims to have the whole country covered."


The Electric Light seems to shine of Germany and Berlin these days and we hope to produce the project in Berlin sometimes in the near future!



Biking in Berlin is also a great experience and Electric Bikes can be rented all around the city.
