Aug 4th 2006 3:02PM I thought the Lion batteries burned up while in the process of being charged? Or was it spontaneous burn up? If while being charged then the driving of this vehic is not the issue.
Lots of lawn mowers now running on E10 {Autoblog Green}
Jul 31st 2006 11:43AM Having just bought a new lawnmower recently I did all the research to find an E85 lawnmower, a diesel (ala bio-diesel) lawnmower and researched electric. The electrics are just not there yet. Either too small cutting path or fixed batteries which is stupid IMO. Make the batteries easy to swap out and a decent cut path.

Would it not depend on how that electricity was generated? If it were pure coal with no filtration then yes you would be right. Nat gas, solar, nukes are not that polluting.

Who cares why people want a 195 HP sports car (which is pretty weak IMO) or an SUV.
But there will soon be alternatives:

I definitely want one to replace my series 2. I hope it comes with a 300GB HD or firewire HD addon capability. I need that space.

Exclusive Q&A with Chelsea Sexton about the EV1, why the Prius gets a 'C', and who really killed the electric car {Autoblog Green}
Jul 11th 2006 3:21PM Cherly,
The EV1 was an electric car, not a utopian need no fixing car. It still has brakes, cooling systems, and more that will need repair. In fact a car company would love this since they can sell repair certifications for such vehicles. As well these cars are not going to replace hundreds of millions of internal combustion engines overnight so the regular mechanic is not out of a job.
And as for the prius being on back order and they will not improve them you couldn't be further from the truth. Irrelevant that they are on back order, you can buy a Honda hybrid if you so desire. Honda will improve their hybrids if Toyota does not. Then toyota loses sales. Competition will improve them and so will economies of scale.
