There's a new word on the street when it comes to the electric car: Psychedelic. And by "street" I mean "avenue." And by "avenue," I mean Portland Statue University's Electric Avenue—the street near PSU campus designated solely for electric cars to pull in and power up. Turns out that if you drive an electric car, you're clearly on LSD... maybe shrooms. I'll let Electric Avenue's new homepage header do the talking:

Nuts, right? Also, the page's wording is pretty new age: "This is Electric Avenue. The nexus of new technology and new urbanism. A living laboratory where innovation is everywhere: implemented, improved, reimplemented, improved, reimplemented..."

So what's up with electric vehicles being so damn trippy? I'll leave you with the song that started it all.
