From the page: "With gasoline and diesel powered vehicles, one of the biggest option choices facing buyers is engine size. 4 cylinders? A V6 maybe? Or even a V8? That's an important decision since the engine is at the heart of a vehicle. But when it comes to electric vehicles, the heart is no doubt the battery. This is why Tesla has announced battery options for its upcoming Model S electric sedan, and it is why Nissan is suggesting that it might eventually offer different battery options with its LEAF electric car."

From the page: "It's always great to see cities that are making real efforts to encourage people to cycle. The benefits can be enormous: Healthier people, fewer cars on the road, less air pollution, a more human-scale city that attracts more tourists, etc. In the video above, various officials from New York City's Department of Transportation explain the thinking behind various types of new bike lanes in the city (on the left, buffered, and sometimes completely separated)"

Drew Barrymore is hitting the electric circuit tonight on the Leno show.

WANT.

From the page: "Nissan's new zero-emissions electric vehicle is a quiet car with a noisy message. During an Aug. 2 unveiling at the company's new headquarters in Yokohama, Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn drove the Leaf, a four-door hatchback, onto the main stage with Japan's former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi in the passenger seat and the mayor of Yokohama and the governor of Kanagawa prefecture sitting in the back. The point was loud and clear: Nissan, which is investing heavily not just in electric-car development but also in infrastructure like charging stations, has politicians on board."

Some really interesting cities that go about their daily business without depending on cars.
