Not good: Tesla Roadster, Toyota Prius and VW Touareg meet with disastrous results {Autoblog Green}
Oct 25th 2009 9:00AM So the driver has confirmed that the Prius hit a stationary motorbike and the Tesla which then rear ended the Toureg.
Everyone was taken to hospital but discharged after a few hours.
The Tesla wasn't even his. There's a test of friendship for you...

GM responds to Audi's "Volt is for idiots" remark {Autoblog Green}

Audi's Johan de Nysschen responds to Volt for idiots story {Autoblog Green}
Sep 4th 2009 6:59PM "While noting that in the long-term, electrified propulsion systems will be a major part of the transportation system, he points out that many questions remain unresolved including the readiness of the power grid and generation systems to support large quantities of EVs.
