GreenGo Tek's electric Scout fends off Volt, Prius to capture 3 awards at EV show

Eat your heart out, Chevrolet Volt! GreenGo Tek's 2011 electric Scout truck is on the prowl.

As the Midwest's largest electric vehicle event – the Michigan Electric Vehicle Show and Rally – came to a close and the dust settled, it was GreenGo Tek and its spankin' new 2011 Scout truck – not the 2011 Chevy Volt – that was presented with three awards: best four-wheeled production vehicle, most creative electric vehicle and the coveted best of show.

The zero-emissions Scout faced off against stiff competition at the third annual EV show, including well-known models like the Volt and the Toyota Prius, and some lesser-known vehicles from companies like Bright Automotive and EcoV Electric.

In the end, the battery-powered Scout Pickup walked away with three of the evening's six awards, prompting Ray Leduc, chief executive officer of GreenGo Tek to release this statement:

We were completely knocked out by the response we got at the Michigan Electric Vehicle Show. What a great night! It was wonderful to see the electric vehicle community embrace a manufacturer that maybe doesn't have the corporate reach of Chevy or Toyota, but that is just as committed to delivering well-built, affordable, eco-friendly electric vehicles.

Kudos to GreenGo Tek for facing off against some of the automotive industry's big dogs and coming out on top.
