Volvo’s Future Car

Friday, April 25th, 2008

A wheel-motor series hybrid is indeed coming up from Volvo, but don’t hold your breath.  Apparently something very big could be in the wings, some sort of next generation hybrid or e-flex technology, making the announcement of the “Recharge” concept car - a wheel-motor series hybrid - not the biggest story Volvo intends to break this year.  And with [...]

Miles Electric Vehicles

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

Who will be first to deliver a full-sized, affordable all electric car to consumers? One company quietly emerging as a strong contender for this distinction is Miles Electric Vehicles, based in Santa Monica, California.

GM’s Volt on track for 2010

Monday, April 14th, 2008

Earlier this month, General Motors hosted about 90 journalists from around the world to provide an update on progress with the Chevy Volt, an extended range electric vehicle they announced as a concept in January 2007.  On third of the way between announcement and planned launch in November of 2010, the Volt appears to be [...]

100% EVs vs. Series Hybrids

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

On March 17th the Tesla Roadster went into mass production - of sorts - on that day production model “#2″ was placed onto the assembly line at Tesla’s Lotus factory in Hethel England (Tesla press release).  According to a report in AutoblogGreen by Sam Abuelsamid “Tesla Roadster starts production today,” the rate of production will be one car [...]

Hydrogen Hydrogen Oxygen

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

HHO, or “Aquagen” is a new fuel that can be mixed with gasoline and will improve mileage by 50%.  Any truth to this?  And in its pure state, what PSI does this “aquagen” require for storage onboard and in wholesale transport?  Hydrogen requires 10,000 PSI; what does HHO require?  How much energy is required to manufacture this [...]

Natural Gas Series Hybrids

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

If you look at the drive towards ”LCFS” fuel (LCFS means “lower carbon fuel standards”), it appears that natural gas powered vehicles are the wave of the future.  Can you say “natural gas powered series hybrid”?

The GM “Flextreme,” set for production in Europe, is the only
