Official Scion iQ EV thread

I think these are replacing the old Rav 4s EVs that UCI use to have. Can someone swing by the irvine train station to see if they replaced the paddle chargers?

Just saw one driving in Torrance, Ca this past weekend. It had Michigan dealer plates.

Yeah, Jeremy, they are in the process of replacing the old Rav4s at UCI with IQ EVs. There's also a group of residents in Univ Hills that are partipating in a research study with the cars.

I'm attending a screening of a new film about the global energy future at UCIs Engineering Hall this evening and they're displaying an IQ EV, a Toyota FCEV and a natural gas powered race car that was a graduate project. Pretty cool.

The film is called SWITCH. Check out the trailer at switchenergyproject.com
