According to a recent research article by CNW Marketing Research, the 2011 Chevrolet Volt isn’t as cool as it once was. As reported by USA Today, the research firm claims that interest in Chevrolet’s plug-in hybrid electric car is at an all-time low. CNW blames the car’s high sticker price as the main reason for a drop in...
While the first Urban Concept from Audi featured an innovated sliding roof design, the German automaker has now gone the whole hog and built an open-top version, or 'Spyder' in Audi-speak. Otherwise, the concept, which now goes by the name Audi Urban Spyder, is much the same as its hard-top sibling, still packing a tandem-style 1+1 seating...
We're rather proud of our redesign, and our readers' response to the new GreenCarReports look couldn't have been better: We got several compliments, and not a single complaint. Which is pretty unheard of, in our experience. However, if you like the redesign but the font looks funny--as it did on several of our machines--we may have a solution...
Portland, Oregon wants to be a hub for electric vehicles and early electric-car adopters. With the city focused on attracting companies and making the region a center for electric-vehicle launches, test fleets, and even EV tourism, it begs the question: how many people in the Portland area, how soon, could be driving electric vehicles before it...
Ford is having no trouble selling its V-6 EcoBoost equipped F-150 pickups, but that doesn’t mean the automaker will stop promoting the truck or the fuel economy it achieves. Its latest Facebook-based social media blitz is called the “Ford F-150 EcoBoost Challenge,” and it’s a contest where not only the entrants win. The...
It’s hard enough when two companies part company on good terms, but when one side of the business relationship leaves the other with a total of $105 million in unpaid bills things are going to get a little tough. That’s exactly what has happened to publicly-traded New York-based battery firm Ener1 [NASDAQ:HEV] as it deals with the...
In what we see as a shrewd move to help keep Portland, Oregon at the forefront of the electric-car movement, the city has dedicated a full city block, called Electric Avenue, to electric vehicle charging. At a ceremony yesterday, Portland mayor Sam Adams plugged in the first car and dedicated a street lined with chargers, in the company of...
Photovoltaic solar panels are quickly becoming the accepted ultimate accessory for any self-respecting electric car owner. So much so that Ford recently announced that it has negotiated special discount pricing on SunPower solar panels, meaning 2012 Ford Focus Electric owners could get an array capable of charging up their car on sunshine for just...
We've always viewed the Honda Fit as one of the best all-around subcompact choices on the market. While the little five-door hatchback, last redesigned for 2009, faces increased competition from the likes of the 2011 Ford Fiesta and the new 2012 Hyundai Accent, it's still probably the most versatile subcompact we know of. It's got the lowest...
It's almost the size of a misshapen softball, but it may be the charging combo you will have to use for quick charging on future electric cars. The U.S. Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) is in the process of expanding its J-1772 standard for an electric-car coupler from the current round plug-and-socket fitting that is now used on every...
Fresh off our piece yesterday looking at different motivations for buying plug-in cars comes more proof that it's not just early adopters and uber-greens who think driving electric makes sense.
