Thanks I tried to look for the electric car but didn't see it. There is a lot of them to cruise thru. So if anyone knows feel free to speak up.

^ ctrl + f (finder)`s your friend with that list. Nothing electric on that page so it should be a go. Pretty rare around here but I know of a few ones that occasionally stand in front of the office building of a local electric company, they even have a free parking for electric cars there. Gonna ride to work tomorrow if it doesn`t rain in the morning so might as well take a spin there.

Good challenge Blackdog91. Surprised this one hasn't been done. It should keep the fun moving along.

If you read in the rules, guidelines really, after 100 challenges things can be repeated but we try not to. Also we've been trying to put the current challenge in every post.

Moving on...
I'm assuming 100% electric, not hybrid. Correct? Maybe I'll cruise by the Tesla dealer after work and see if any are parked where I can get a shot...

Would you approve a converted one? There`s some Toyota eCorollas here that has been converted to fully electric by a local company in Tampere.

No luck with this one... Went to see the electric only- parking but it was empty. I did manage to see one Nissan Leaf on Lahti Energia's colors parked in front of the gate of their new power plant extension right next to our truck garage, by the looks of things they were filming a news video or something cause there were all these cameras and a woman with a mic, but by the time I had took the truck out and got back there with my bike they were all gone.

Ha ha ha, works for me, it is indeed fully electric; but it's not a car, it's an off-roader. Please go and raid your sons' RC collection and come up with a car; but excellence points for lateral thinking.

Hehe, nice thinking outside the box! I vote *yes* just for the enginuity and forward movement of challenges, but basically it's up to blackdog to approve.
