One Year Ago in TH: Plug It In, Plug It In

One year ago in TH, we wanted a Tesla, and we wanted it bad, even though the fuzz was on to 'em.
Electric cars, plug-ins and otherwise greener cars, some more quixotic than others, were all over our pages, from Europe to Saturn and back. We even found a way to stop waiting and get an electric car now.

Fast forward to this year; the founder of Tesla Motors, Martin Eberhard, has stepped down as CEO of the company and has since left the company altogether...hmm. We haven't seen much from the other concepts, but there is a new version of the G-Wiz i (on the right, above). It's no Tesla, but you can just plug it in and go. See the rest of what was on TreeHugger's radar one year ago.

I heard there's a newer, faster Tesla electric car alternative called the X1. It's in prototype mode and being developed in the U.S. by Wrightspeed.

Does anyone out there have more info on it? Supposed to be a production line car, but sportier and faster (and hopefully more available).
