Notre Dame To Put a Charge Into Electric Cars!

The University of Notre Dame, Eaton Corporation and Mitsubishi Motors North America are teaming up to explore the viability of moving to electric powered vehicles for the campus fleet.  This weekend, you'll see a "unique" looking vehicle called the iMiev -- displayed in the Irish Green.  It's an electric car that is currently only for sale in Japan.  Notre Dame will have an iMiev for the next several months  -- on campus -- to test.  Eaton Corporation is providing state-of-the-art charging stations to assist ND in this exploration.  The iMiev currently gets about 100 miles to a charge.  Here's a link to the iMiev website:
