Tesla Video Mashup from Calvin Klesmith

Calvin Klesmith (@CalvinKlesmith) is a sophmore at University of Wisconsin Stevens Point and is a huge Tesla fan. We saw his work on YouTube and asked Calvin to compile a 2 1/2 minute highlights reel after this past week’s TeslaRoadTrip passed through the four Wisconsin Supercharger stations. As Calvin shows us, the Model S is right at home in the heart of the Midwest. Look for Calvin’s ‘tip of the hat’ to the nations best EV Charging Station App: PlugShare. Check out Calvin’s other Tesla videos on his YouTube channel.

The Tesla Supercharger network is growing in Georgia with three open in Macon, Savannah and Tifton and Atlantic Station opening later this year.  At this time next year, Georgia can join the nationwide TeslaRoadTrip.

Why Georgia’s Low Emission Income Tax Credits Should Include Plug-Ins and Hybrids

Atlanta is the #2 city for EVs and Georgia is tied for fourth among U.S. states in EV registrations. A key component of the state’s success are its income tax credits for zero emissions vehicles (ZEVs) and low emissions vehicles (LEVs). Unfortunately, these tax credits do not apply to hybrid electric plug-in or to gas- hybrids despite their low carbon emissions and lower five year costs than traditional internal combustion engine cars. By including plug-ins and hybrids to complement the current ZEV and LEV income tax credits, Georgia’s State Legislature can help significantly reduce the state’s CO2 emissions and improve the air quality in Georgia, and help grow the state’s economy. Skeptical? Read More.
