Dan Monroe did not let Thanksgiving distract him from rounding up the latest EV news last week, but I failed to post it.  Whoops!   I'm sure nobody reading this missed the big story that the Chevy Volt was named Car of the Year by both Motor Trend and Automobile Magazine, though ... 

Here is this week's news (along with a sprinkling from last week):
