Electric Vehicle, Daily News, Part 2
Here is the last part of our daily news coverage around electric vehicles, EV and related technologies around the globe.
Toyota Prius, Wait A Bit. Yes, even Toyota is feeling the pinch and is delaying production, and therefore delivery of the much anticipated plug-in hybrid, PHEV variant of it’s Prius, according to Bloomberg. In the meantime, people are converting their Prius hybrids, HEV to PHEVs.
Chrysler Charges Forward With EVs. Amid dismal news, Chrysler is pushing forward with news of further development of its EV projects, according to TimesOfTheInternet. The trick is to deliver EV and plug-in hybrids, PHEV before the company goes bankrupt.
Tesla Roadster, 6 Times Better. Is the Tesla Roadster 6 times better than average sports car? According to the Auto Racing Daily, the Tesla is six times more efficient than the average sports car while producing only 10% of the pollution. Interesting numbers.
Raising Gas Taxes To Help Alternative Cars? That is the question, and according to Chron, in the long run low gasoline prices hurt America more than they help, especially when it will come back. So should people be taxed more on gas? And if so, where would that money go? Should it go to develop more “green technologies”? Or will it go to steady budget deficits?

More Plug-in Hybrid Toyota Prius. Pierce Jones, a researcher with the university’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, is working with North Carolina companies Progress Energy, Advanced Energy and Duke Energy to test a Toyota Prius modified to use electricity delivered through a regular household electrical outlet, according to NewsWire.
Tesla Roadster Is $109,000. Yes, so what? It seems news abound everywhere on the price of this cutting edge technology EV but since when has America been so intrigued by the price of a performance car? Ferraris and Porsches cost a lot of money. And is it that strange that the company is asking the government for help? Wouldn’t anyone also? CNET.
That’s it for part 2 of our news coverage. Stay tune for more.
