The Mayor of San Francisco is in talks with Project Better Place to get and influx of electric cars and recharging stations to help his city cut their carbon footprint. Hopefully this will catch on across the country!

After many years of development, the long awaited Tesla all electric vehicle is now a reality. Tesla opened their first flagship dealership in Hollywood Thursday and plans to open the next dealership in a couple of months next to their home base in San Carlos.

The new Tesla Roadster electric car, and tips for using less gas in your gas powered cars.

The actual Paris mayor said that if re-elected he will build the “Autolib” which is a self-service electric and/or hybrid-electric car system, that will include 300 free re-charging stations in different parts of the city and 2,000 cars (electric and hybrid

Just a few months ago I was presenting the Tesla Roadster as a pioneer in electric vehicles. And it surely is. It does 60mph in just 3.7 seconds, is extremely light and not so comfortable. This time, the British have projected a brand-new electric car that would ultimately compete with Tesla’s famous Roadster.

It is said that BMW has plans for making full electric vehicles, as new Californian laws force the cars manufacturers to have a significant electric vehicles offer for the market beginning with 2012.

Designed to accommodate the latest battery and motor technology and reflect its 100% electric power and performance, the electric Lightning prototype is being hand-built by a small team of passionate British engineers, designers and collaborators.

Tesla Motors of San Carlos California has pioneered a 100% electrical roadster that reaches 60 mph in under 4 seconds. Faster then a Ferrari this electric machine gets the equivalent of 135 mpg traveling up to 220 miles on a single charge. The battery fully charges in 3.5 hours which

Like the 'shaguar' but faster, greener and sexier.

Can't wait to see it in action

We have been talking about the Th!nk City a few weeks back but we never would of thought this car would be coming to the U.S. market. The EV that really drives like a car will be sold for a rumored sub-$25 000 price point. It’s intended to be in showrooms in 2009.

Here’s a little tricky experiment that you can do on your own at home. It’s very simple to do, all you have to have is a solar battery (you can buy that cheaply from a scrap store), a bottle, a toy with wheels you don’t need anymore, and a little bit of super glue. It runs completely on solar power.

The two leading manufacturers of electric cars in the US are involved in a serious quarrel over alleged theft of vehicle design and trade secrets. Tesla Motors, who recently began production of their electric Roadster, claims that Henrik Fisker took on an $875,000 design contract with Tesla in order to access confidential design information.

Unofficial sources have said that it’s all about a super capacitor, able to take much more greater charges than usual Li-Ion batteries can do in present days. Actually, they’ll even charge faster and have the ability to release power much more quickly when needed. The new super batteries will never lose their charge capacities, so that would make them man’s best friend in everything, from powering your mp3 to powering your car.

General Motors Corp showed off its progress in developing the highly anticipated Chevrolet Volt and detailed its road map for bringing the rechargeable car to the market by 2010, an ambitious time line challenged by some rivals.

According to the guy in this video the Th!nk City is the only EV that feels like a car. It might not be the most beautiful car out there but I believe it’s the most reliable EV with it’s 125 miles driving range and a full charge of only 8 hours. If you compare it to a Smart that uses fuel, the Th!nk is better for your wallet and better for the environment.
