Last night took two LEAF-fuls of individuals related to Silicon Valley (venture capitalists, journalists and other business folks) to dinner at a remote Swiss chalet. The post-dinner conversation? Probably all about EVs. Through Hertz, Hidary is collaborating with B-2-B and B-2-C ventures that span three continents in the cities of New York, San Fransciso, London, Paris, Shanghai and Beijing. He's waiting for his LEAF orders to get all locations up and running.
