For spotting odd electric vehicles, try the Google Parking areas.  There's tons of them.  We have several BMW Active E's for instance including one in my building here.   2 Rav4 EVs now (actually 3, since i saw another one parked at our chargers that looks a few months older than either mine or the other person in my group who bought one the same weekend).  Volts, Teslas and Plug-in Priuses are too numerous to count here.  (a few Tesla Roadsters + a rapidly growing number of Tesla Model S's).   Of course, it being Google, you'd probably expect that...


If you go to MakerFaire this weekend, they have one there.  A nice lady named Joyce was trying to convince people to buy more :)

I also met one of the engineers on the project there, who pointed out what a number of things under the hood actually did.  There's also the Electric Miata project showing a car and about 5 other electric conversions.  I was really interested to see the "Open Source" charger project launching there (it sa Kickstarter, the project is called "EMW").  The device is called a "Juice Box" and they had one there charging one of their converted electric cars at 50 amps.
