Famous Electric Vehicle OwnersJust Who Owns those Electric Cars?One of the things that caught my eye when I started to notice electric cars and scooters was the amount of magazine and paper articles featuring movie stars and their electric cars. Famous electric vehicle owners were everywhere.Why wouldn't they though? If you have all the money you would ever need then it's pretty easy to buy something as expensive as a Tesla Roadster! 
People like George Clooney (my Mum likes him) was one of the first owners of the Tango T600 - one of the weirdest looking (and most expensive) electric cars around. 
The actress Kristin Scott-Thomas (my Mum knows her)owns a Reva Gee Whiz which she uses to zip around the centre of London. Now there's a lady who doesn't care about fashion! 
Talk show host Jay Leno (my Dad knows him) seems to own every car that has ever come out! Just some of the examples here are the early Detroit Electric Car (see the History of Electric Vehicles for more). 
He also has a Tesla Roadster (I think this is his one - just without him in it). 
I've also included a pic of him with the BMW 7 Hydrogen powered car (even though I think he just had it for a week). 
Apparently, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie also have a BMW Hydrogen 7 car - but I think they might have just been test driving it. Now they are SOME famous electric vehicle owners! 
Leonardo DiCaprio apparently now drives a Fisker Karma. He decided to upgrade to the plug-in hybrid and after being one of the first celebrities in Hollywood to drive a Prius. I think the Karma will look a bit better for red carpet arrivals than a Prius! It might not be all-electric but it will do for now... 
The actress Alyssa Milano is another celebrity who drives a Nissan Leaf. Apparently they already have a Chevrolet Volt too. It looks like her family decided like plenty of other families that enough was enough and 2011 was the year to make the jump to green cars. Is there any one famous my age (or at least in their twenties) into electric? I wonder who is buying what and what they think of them. I'll add them in here when I find out more!
Everyone knows that a lot of celebrities are driving hybrids now because they somehow became cool, but they’re really not helping the environment
that much with them, all they're really doing is saving a bit of petrol and working on their image.
