ELECTRIC VEHICLES CHARGING TOWARDS THE FUTURE  The 8-wheeled Electric Eliica - The makers of the Eliica (which stands for Electric Lithium-Ion Car) aim to exceed 250 mph, with a range of 200 miles between charges. Each of 8 wheels house an 80 hp electric motor. The project’s goal is to test the capabilities of electric vehicles and exceed 250mph, the current record for a street-legal gas powered vehicle. The i MiEV is built to Japanese K-car regulations, which promote smaller, more efficient cars in return for tax and insurance perks. That limits its width to 4ft 10in and it’s about 10in narrower than a Ford Fiesta. This, coupled with its loftiness, exaggerates its cartoon-like styling - perfect for those who want to scream their eco-credentials. It is the automotive equivalent of a Che Guevara T-shirt.  More at Times Online The electric i MiEV was developed alongside its gas-powered sibling i minicar and has an unusual “rear-midship” power-plant, where the electric motor is under the rear seat, the battery pack beneath the floor, in place of the fuel tank. Electric cars are in the news all the time. There are several reasons for the continuing interest in these vehicles: Electric cars create less pollution than gasoline-powered cars, so they are an environmentally friendly alternative to gasoline-powered vehicles (especially in cities). Most news story about hybrid cars usually talks about electric cars as well. There are a lot of differences between gasoline and electric cars: The gasoline engine is replaced by an electric motor. The electric motor gets its power from a controller. The controller gets its power from an array of rechargeable batteries. A gasoline engine, with its fuel lines, exhaust pipes, coolant hoses and intake manifold, tends to look like a plumbing project. An electric car is definitely a wiring project.

Quentin Wilson's summary about the electric car is less than complimentary, but the GM original EV1 ad is well worth a watch.

Aptera was designed from the ground up as an electric vehicle, and later as an extended range hybrid electric vehicle. 230 mpg car! 1:47 (Video - There's a short advertisement first) KFMB's Spencer Washburn reports from Carlsbad, CA. Visit Aptera.  Go from gross polluter to protector of the environment! Get Serious about Going Electric  EVs are economical to run, affordable, useful, and really fun to ride or drive. They are the perfect way to travel, shop, or commute without having to fire up the old 'gas-guzzler', fight traffic, and/or pay high prices for maintenance and fuel.  Why not make your new EV a 100% useful 'second car' that will go a long way to help relieve your 'gas pains' (caused by rising fuel costs)?  'Going Electric' is very much the driving force we believe will help to create a better and cleaner future for us, our children, and for future generations.   The choice of vehicle that you drive has a greater effect on the environment than any other choice you make as a consumer.  Our collective addiction to oil is at the root of at least six fundamental issues that are adversely affecting our nation and indeed, the entire planet: corporate-driven globalization, global warming, poverty, war, terrorism, and the undue influence of money on the political process.  Get Serious about Clean Energy.
