The famed car designer, Henrik Fisker, has had some rough bumps along the way. Not going to talk about those here. I am going to talk about the fact that he isn’t giving up. Fisker’s latest electric vehicle (EV) the EMotion has a “theoretical” 400 mile range and a top speed of 161 mph. These numbers depend on a new graphene battery, currently under development btw UCLA, coming to reality. If things work out this carbon fiber EV will be built in California and unveiled in 2017. Some cool features of this concept...
Love this kind of technology, a green car which is good for the environment and it makes life easier for those in wheelchairs. This Kenguru Car is driven directly from a wheelchair and is accessible via a rear tailgate system. Another cool feature of this wheelchair friendly car is that it...
Car2go's popular car sharing platform is coming to North America, specifically San Diego (before the end of 2011). The cool part is that this fleet of cars will be the all-electric Smart Fortwo 30kW plug-ins. The cars will run about 84 miles per charge and can be recharged at any of the 1,000 Blink EV charging stations. Press release after...

TGMY's latest electric car, the Himiko, starts off as a Mazda NC MX5, but ends up looking like a classic roadster, sorta. After removing the Mazda motor, TGMY puts 168 Lithium batteries and electronic gadgetry under the hood. The car will go about...
"Cue the pundits. Nissan’s incoming Leaf has just nabbed an official EPA sticker, with a mind-melting 99MPG “equivalent” rating set to grace every single window. That’ll undoubtedly catch eyes, but it’s also likely to spur a huge debate on what “miles per gallon” truly means when you’re throwing a battery into...
It looks like an unlikely restaurant, McDonald’s, will start deploying electric car charging stations at a few of its restaurants. (Full disclosure… I like anything that moves electric cars in to the now, still waiting for my Aptera)...
I have said it before… I will say it again “someday we will all drive electric cars”. I may be wrong… but I doubt it. Mitsubishi is hedging their bets with their latest electric car, the i...
We love the Tesla all electric car, but the price and deliverable times make them unpractical… so, when we saw “The Amp”...
Imagine that, an electric carving knife that looks like a mini-chainsaw. Why didn’t I think of that? This bad boy, the Mighty Carver, is great for carving the Christmas/Thanksgiving turkey and is sure to be a conversation starter. Not only does it look awesome, but it also has an ergonomic handle and removable stainless steel blades. You know you want one. Get it
