i MiEV on iTunes in HD {Autoblog Green}
May 12th 2008 4:51PM Throwback, I'll trade you my '05 diesel passat tdi in a heartbeat for a MiEV plus $10K. Diesel is a rip right now and I'd be happy to wedge my 6'1 body into that compact car.
i MiEV on iTunes in HD {Autoblog Green}
May 12th 2008 1:54PM Mitsu is nuts for not marketing and producing this car for the NA market. It'd be a smash with current gas prices. Certainly they have the competition by at least 2 years also. HELLO.
McCain will discuss environmental policy specifics today {Autoblog Green}
May 12th 2008 9:34AM It wasn't him Tim. It was the courts that expanded the power of the federal government. We could argue about this all day, but that little clause that gives the power of the feds to regulate commerce, as interpreted by the courts which gives the pres and Congressional jackasses so much power that apparently authorizes them to regulate all things environmental. The president is not a dictator, but certainly we've never seen one relinquish power. Damn courts.
Renault's electric car debuts in Tel Aviv {Autoblog Green}
May 11th 2008 5:17PM Does anyone else feel that Israel and Renalt/Nissan may actually be able to pull this off with the government support? For obvious economic-political reasons, wouldn't that be a coup?
I hope they tell OPEC to shove off.
20,000 people express email interest in buying a Chevy Volt {Autoblog Green}
May 7th 2008 7:41PM If someone had the time, desire and skills to do for the MiEV what Lyle did for the Volt(ie fan website), you'd see 20,000 names there as well. I want the MiEV produced here. It's affordable, viable, and a BEV. Match that any other auto manufacturer.
Phoenix Motorcars to use Electrovaya batteries? {Autoblog Green}
May 6th 2008 2:20PM Have these startups learned nothing from Tesla's mess with their drive train 1.5 mess? Have multiple suppliers for such a vital component such as the BATTERY. How about having A123 and Enerdel on the side competing for the contract? Ugh, how frustrating and devastating for Phoenix.
Ohio refuses to license electric 3-wheelers {Autoblog Green}
May 5th 2008 10:48AM I'm a lawyer licensed in Ohio. If anyone gets zinged for driving one of those, give me a buzz. I'm very interested in this area and hope to help out.

Audi chief: Electric car in 5 - 10 years {Autoblog Green}
May 5th 2008 10:45AM Terrific,
Remind me NOT to buy any Audi products any time soon. As a current VW TDI driver, I'm not thrilled with the EV offerings of VW either. Guess I'll go elsewhere.
Smart could start testing lithium ion ForTwo in 2009, possibly in LA {Autoblog Green}
Apr 30th 2008 3:48PM Now Smart has my attention. They should fast track a li-ion Smart in the US and undercut the MiEV and others here...they'd sell like wild fire.
Maximum Bob talks pure EV Volt, battery-free Volt and prototype drives! {Autoblog Green}
Apr 26th 2008 7:09PM I think this is wondeful news and would personally LOVE to see a BEV version of the Volt. 100 mile + range around 30-35K. I'm a customer!
