EVS23: meet ATEV, the all-electric ATV from EVS (ABG video) 2 years ago on Autoblog Green

One of the benefits of an electric motor powering an ATV, says Ken Stasiek, the national sales manager of Electric Vehicle Systems (EVS), is that you can sneak up on wild game easier.

EVS23: Tesla Roadster sittin' under a SolarCity roof 2 years ago on Autoblog Green

I know that there can really never be enough pictures of the Tesla Roadster around. While a glut of pictures are fine, repeating the same information over and over gets annoying.

Turns out, this BugE is a project of ...
