AutoblogGreen video: electric car charger
I talked to Joe Lado about his Pontiac Fiero that he's converted to run on electricity at a Washington event for electric cars this week. You can see the golf cart batteries and solar panels in the front and back of the car in a video below the fold. Joe talked about the many advantages of owning an electric car, especially the low cost of fuel and maintenance. I was really impressed however by the charger. For a conversion, the charger was incredibly well done. There was a timer, switches and a second connector that made charging at almost any voltage possible. You can check it out in the video above.

Thanks Linton for the great articles on EVs. Wanted to know if you have any other blogs you write in?
Also, I believe an article on an Oil company buying Nasdaq belongs here.

Henry, Thanks. I help out a little at Treehugger but I would not say I blog for them.
As for NASDAQ, I will look into it but the best place to send us tips is not comments. We have page you can send tips.

Awsome idea! Makes it easy for all those who have a small input of electricity made from solar or wind at home, and wants to charge it over a longer period of time. Good work!
