Electricnick, The EV Revolution

May 18, 2009

It’s A Green, Green Electric Propulsion World.

There is no shortage of innovations, creative solutions and impressive visions of what the electric drive future should be like.  If the last decades of automotive innovations have left you…  hum, hum, yawn, boring feeling, the electric drive will change your view that things are happening.

  • Selling At A Loss.  If business is down, capturing those illusive buyers is what all dealerships are faced with.  The internet auction site RockyBid.comis willing to sell the Honda Insight at a $300 loss, or close to the 1950′s prices, according to eMediaWire.
  • Corsa Motorsports Shows Off Its Fruits.  The Corsa Motorsports showed off its Ginetta-Zytek 09HS hybrid LMP1 car in Utah, U.S. at the  Grand Prix at Miller Motorsports park, according to AutoBlogGreen.  The results were impressive according to Standard, they won their class at the American Le Mans.
  • Prius Defies Slow Economy.  Downturn, schmownturn!  Toyota takes in 75,000 orders for the the new Prius hybrid, according to Wired.
  • Electric Bicycles Are Getting Some Loving In The News.  Cars don’t do it for you?  How about electric bicycles?  According to Speigel, there is plenty to like about those electric assisted bikes.
  • Nissan Australian Charge.  Will anything stop Nissan?  It doesn’t look like it as the company is off on a charm campaign in Australia where it gain says, forget hybrid and hydrogen, it’s all in the pure electric drive, according to WAToday.  Like the Renault-Nissan alliance or not, one thing is for sure, if the electric drive will dominate tomorrow, then this alliance will have a juggernaut head start on other companies.

Here is Danny’s Contentment interviewing the Renault Kangoo electric car concept.
