- Our best wishes go out to Bill Dube, owner and creator of the Killacycle. Bill was giving an interview at a conference and decided to demonstrate a burn-out in the parking lot. The bike caught traction and suddenly launched the both of them down the road and into the side of a mini-van. Other than that part, it was a great interview with some interesting information about the bike, including its A123 battery system. Bill left a comment regarding the crash, including: “The positive message here is that when we crunched the battery pack, NOTHING happened. No smoke. No flames. Not even sparks. Not only are these cells more powerful, they are are the safest possible for automobiles.“
- Welcome to the new era of electric cars…perpetual concept cars. Meet the Nissan Mixim, which they readily admit has almost no chance of ever being produced.
- A couple of EV related articles: Can the electric car save us, or is it that the technology is too elusive?
- Some interesting EV research and testing has been going on for years at Argonne National Laboratory.
- Finally an article over at AutoblogGreen wondering if the Clean Air Act really stops most of us from buying clean cars.
