How the Plug-in Vehicle Tracker Works
The site is basically a list divided in three sections. Cars & Trucks, 2 & 3 Wheeler Vehicles, and Commercial Vehicles. Each section has three columns with information about Make, Model & Type, Features, Status, and a photo.
Looking at the list, the first thing that jumps at you is how few of those vehicles have the "Available in USA Now" badge. Only two have it in the Cars & Trucks section, the Tesla Roadster and the electric Tango.

On the commercial side, there's an electric truck and an electric bus that are available in the USA, but that's it.
A lot of those vehicles are planned for 2010. Let's just hope that in 2010 they won't be pushed back to 2011, and in 2011 to 2012, and so on...
