Green Car Report Daily Headlines
In a not-so-distant past, if you wanted a greener, higher-mileage car, you simply looked for a smaller one. But today, with hybrids and clean diesels—of course, in addition to electric vehicles—that generalization doesn't always hold true. That's the case with the 2012 Scion iQ. While it's one of smallest vehicles in the U.S., along...
Toyota has announced pricing on two new models from its Prius family: the 2012 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid and the 2012 Toyota Prius V. And it's clarified that both trim levels of the plug-in Prius will likely qualify for a Federal tax credit of $2,500 (although the government has not yet certified them as eligible). Prior to any credit, the 2012...
In 2008, the future looked bright for the Smart brand in the Untied States. Gas prices had climbed to record levels, so then-distributor Penske Automotive had no trouble in selling 25,000 Smart Fortwos in the car’s first official U.S.-market year.

Just this week, the company introduced the plug-in Prius to...
The Chevrolet Volt is now here, on sale in most states, and ready to plug in--and to answer all your questions about what it is, how it drives, how to buy it and how to wade through all its new technology, there's only one solution. Here, you'll find High Gear Media's comprehensive coverage of the Volt, from the early days of the Volt Dance and...
The 2011 Nissan Leaf has now been for sale in certain U.S. markets for nine months -- just long enough for the accessories and aftermarket market to catch up and offer everything from custom wheels to body kits for Nissan’s first all-electric hatchback. We’ve already covered fan-run projects to reduce charging time and improve the...
Following the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year we speculated on the problems that small volume, odd-looking electric cars could do to the EV industry's reputation. The outlook at Frankfurt was much more upbeat. Despite the absence of Nissan and its Leaf, several other carmakers had exciting electric cars on show and smaller EV-makers were given...
