It was great while it lasted, but the dream of being able to buy a sleek, three-wheeled Aptera 2e electric car seems to be receding into the distance. A month ago, the company stopped taking deposits for new Apteras, blaming an issue with the escrow account in which they were held. Now, the company says it will return all deposits it has taken to...
It's not just the sleek styling, crisp details, nicely detailed cabin, and impressive handling that make the all-new 2012 Ford Focus such an attractive small-car option—and an 8 out of 10 here at Green Car Reports. While those aspects are bound to win shoppers over on the test drive, it's the 40-mpg highway rating (in some versions), as well...
The venerable Toyota Prius has been around for over a decade now, first as an awkward but fuel-efficient sedan, then a geeky hatchback and soon a platform in its own right. But while Toyota is now putting the Hybrid Synergy Drive technology from the Prius into a whole range of vehicles from tiny city hatchbacks to full-sized luxury SUVs, there are...
Presumably following studies on whether bears really do defecate in the woods and to which religion the Pope actually pertains, The Greenling Institute in California has released a new report suggesting that expensive electric vehicles aren't benefitting communities of low income. The new study, entitled "Electric Vehicles - Who's Left Stranded?"...
We're on record with the analysis that electric-car production will far, far outweigh that of hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles built over the next decade, and perhaps longer. Still several carmakers are pressing ahead with plans to build hydrogen-powered vehicles, and now Pike Research has ranked them. The full results are in their report, "Light Duty...
If you want hybrid-like fuel economy from a clean diesel mid-size sedan, the 2012 Volkswagen 2012 Passat TDI won’t disappoint, and even the base 2012 Passat delivers reasonable (but not class-leading) fuel economy. The sedan’s interior room, especially back seat passenger space, is impressive, as is the sizable trunk. It’s not...
Which electric car charging station is the best? And just how are public charging stations getting used? These are just two of the questions Portland State University and Portland General Electric Co. are hoping to answer with a two-year research project into electric car charging stations and their usage. Rather than concentrate on just one...
