It seems like the idea of an electric car is very 21st century. But what most people do not know is that electric cars have been for sale for over 100 years (1909 Baker Electric). The electric car is nothing new, but it may now finally be moving into the spotlight. As you probably know, Jay Leno has a ground-breaking new television show that debuted last night. What you might not know is that on the new Jay Leno show there are plans to have a reoccurring segment that features an electric car.
The plan is to have a segment, Green Car Challenge, 2 or 3 times a week featuring a celebrity driving an electric Ford Focus. This could be tremendous advertising and PR for an electric car! Imagine if the Leno show is successful and a couple of times a week America gets the chance to see different celebrities drive an electric car that is fast and fun, it could completely change millions of people’s opinion of an electric car. Could Jay Leno be the man that finally brings the electric car to mainstream America? Time will tell.
