New and Renewed Features

Long before Web 2.0 was defined, EV World had introduced collaborative features like Owner Journals, Forums and Blogs. We have retained and enhanced those features, incorporating them into our EV COMMUNITY and VOICES sections, the latter of which is discussed on the next slide.

Another enhanced feature is our EV WHEELS section that concentrates many of the resources devoted to electric vehicle technology itself: buyer guide, owner journals, 3D puzzles, FAQs.

Just Ahead

WEB 2.0 EV WORLD also will introduce two exciting new features: MAPS and EVikipedia. You will find that all of our newswire links now include Google map references. We also are developing geocoded resources that show the location of DIY projects, electric car charging stations and where people interested in plug-in hybrids live.

When EVikipedia is implemented, we will ask readers to contribute to this resource, starting with writing profiles on key personalities in our EV World.
