Electric Vehicles in driving simulation games
Aug 25th 2013
In real life test I had several times the opportunity to drive electric cars (see Renault Zoe test drive) and it was always a big pleasure especially because of the acceleration and the uncommon sensation of “driving in silence”. I’m a also a big fan of two driving simulation: Forza Motorsport 4 and Gran Turismo 5. Usually when you play such games you will take the fastest car in order to win all the races and don’t care about how many virtual C02 emissions your car is exhausting while driving – sorry playing ;-).

Check your air quality with the interactive European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register map

The map is pretty interesting but also alarming 🙁
You can also check the air quality in your neighborhood and you will understand why it’s important to preserve your planet; so go out and plant some trees! http://prtr.ec.europa.eu/DiffuseSourcesAir.aspx
