Electric Car Insider magazine has launched a Kickstarter campaign to
develop an interactive App version of the EV Buyers Guide for tablets
and mobile devices.
The digital edition App will contain interactive multimedia, including
high quality video, audio podcasts, and photo slide shows and image
galleries with hundreds of quality images not possible to include in the
print edition. The app will ultimately include the ability to arrange
test drives, and on-site and online product demonstrations.
On the Apple and Google app stores, the digital edition will reach tens
of thousands of people interested in driving zero emission electric
vehicles who may not have access to the printed guide. Increasing
awareness and education of electric cars, motorcycles and bicycles will
increase the number of EV drivers and riders. More EV drivers will
improve air quality, but will also spur the installation of more public
EV charging infrastructure, improving the utility and quality of current
EV drivers' experiences with their vehicles.
Backers of the kickstarter program will gain early and discounted access
to the product and other special rewards which will be listed on the
Kickstarter web site when the campaign launches.
Most importantly, the Kickstarter campaign will enable Electric Car
enthusiasts and advocates to help spread the word about EVs. The
campaign will offer several ways for ECI readers to amplify their
influence among their friends and colleagues.
The 2016 Kickstarter campaign is the second for Electric Car Insider
magazine. In the 4th quarter of 2014, ECI held a successful campaign to
fund the development of the print edition of the 2015 EV Buyers Guide,
raising over $12,000 and enabling ECI to distribute the magazine through
Barnes & Noble in the US and Chapters/Indigo in Canada.
