Hi, Sticks.
I guess there's a little issue here of exactly what sort of graphics you might be looking for. Have you thought of poking around the World Wide Wonders? For example, I searched for "electric car graphics" came up with this:
http://www.clipartof.com/gallery/clipart/electric_car.html,
or searching on "electric graphics" and switching to "images" gave this:
http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=com.ubuntu%3Aen-GB%3Aunofficial&um=1&sa=1&q=electric+graphics&btnG=Search&aq=f&oq=&start=0

The trouble is that graphics can be a bit personal, I guess, so it's a question of what you want, what sorts of things you like, and so on. It's got me thinking, though. I've been thinking of rather more subtle things, like converting a 2CV and changing the logo on the back to 2EV, for example [OK, that's neither subtle nor original, but you get what I mean...]. But decent graphics could make a nice EV really stand out from the crowd :) .
Regards, David

I tend to agree, personally I hate anything that screams "I drive and electric vehicle", subtlety is everything and less is more in my book.
For my converted Fiesta I got the word "Electric" made up in the same font/design as the other badges Fiesta's had and stuck it in the same place on the rear boot.
I also applied a couple to the side windows, but overall the effect was very subtle.

I am going subtle with my car.

I am removing all signs of the original branding and badging and replacing with my own company brand. The only indicators of its change to electric will be a subtle 'electric' on the speedo dial and a little '160V' (or whatever it ends up being) slapped on the boot lid. I will probably have loads of H&S hazzard triangles all over the under bonnet areas though.

I think what Russ Sciville did to his Elise is very stylish.

I can't find a photo of the boot, but it had something similar across the back, too.
