Island Green, Bringing Electric Transportation to Bermuda
I spent most of the day with a couple of my partners from our recently minted Bermuda corporation “Island Green.” This is a start-up dedicated to bringing electric transportation to the tony island nation — then to the Caribbean and wherever else the trade winds may blow.
Those of you who have been reading this blog for a while may think that you’ve seen this post, as I’ve been mentioning our group and its mission for some time. But I’m sure you’ve heard the idiom “island time,” commonly used to describe the leisurely pace of life in these tiny, idyllic nations that don’t seek to challenge that of New York City (thank God). And yes, that’s the case here.
So, while we haven’t been moving with the speed of Roadrunner, it remains true that Bermuda is the most perfect place on Earth for electric vehicles: expensive gasoline, a total of 125 miles of roads, and an eco-friendly population of very high net worth per capita people. As I’ve said before, if Bermudians won’t buy EVs, it’s hard to imagine who will.
