There seems to be somewhat of a race for who will deliver the first plug-in electric (or hybrid) car, both in Europe as in the US. In both regions the Chevrolet Volt (or Opel Ampera) was seen as the winner, but recently in the US a Piaggio Scooter was announced as potential winner, while for Europe the Tata indica is now tipped, to be launched in Norway later this year. An interesting development, when relative ‘outsiders’ take the market and beat the traditional big car makers to the market. Real question is whether they will survive or end up like Netscape in the internet-age, with Microsoft gloriously winning the browser-war.
