Hybrid, Electric, Plug-in, Clean Diesel Cars for the Responsible Consumers.

This recharging system claims to have solved a major problem of consumer adoption of EVs by allowing trips beyond typical current EV range of about 150 miles. With fast charging, drivers merely have to pull in to recharging stations much like refueling your internal combustion-engined cars, charge up the batteries, pay for the charge, and continue on their trips.

In the current state of development of the low/no emission and high miles-per-gallon (mpg) automobile industry, however, more technology and choices can cause adverse effects and reaction. Too many, and changing, choices together with new, unfamiliar technologies can create confusion.

Mitsubishi to showcase the Prototype i MiEV show car at Geneva 2009 to gauge public reaction to its continuing effort on the electric vehicle development front. MiEV stands for Mitsubishi innovative Electric Vehicle, and it looks like Mitsubishi is on its way to bring out to market one of the first electric vehicles.

Car manufacturers are soon to bring to market electric and plug-in cars, and GM is doing the right thing for the Chevrolet Volt by working with stakeholders to build the right support infrastructure for the new electric car.

Tesla scrubbed its plan to build a facility in Silicon Valley to build its upcoming electric car called Tesla Model S in favor of a brownfield site.

Today only affluent buyers can afford to buy new all-electric cars like the Tesla Roadster. And when you have Swatch and Daimler-Benz teamed up to make the smart fortwo, it may not be too improbable we’ll get an Apple car someday.

There are many ways to help solve the current high prices at the gas pumps, improve passenger car miles per gallon (mpg), and curve global warming trends. One of them includes implementing sin taxes.

The single fact that car makers and in the case of BYD, a battery maker, are announcing they’ll make all-electric and plug-in cars is reason enough for EV fans to salivate.

The Hybrid Cars Compendium continues to grow as I’m adding more hybrid cars and updating some older information. One of the issues in the back of my mind even before starting this list is whether or not to include trucks and SUVs.

New models and technology are being announced almost daily, as the competition heats up to see which car manufacturer has the coolest environmentally clean cars coming out in the years ahead. Clean car manufacturers and new models are coming out of the woodwork! I need help.
