- “Electric cars have a saintly image but do they work in the real world?” From a Times Online article/review on electric vehicles. Pictured is the Reva G-Wiz, the same car our friend at Danny’s Contentment drives. Saintly?
- Speaking of news, last week’s “big” story was the Smithsonian removing the EV-1 from display just before the release of the movie, Who Killed the Electric Car. If you really have TONS of time to kill and want to read piles of wildly divergent opinions be sure to check out the Slashdot thread.
- Not to fear you still may be able to see a working EV-1 at the upcoming HybridFest in Madison, Wisconsin the 22nd of July. Of course most of the current models of hybrids will be on display, including some plug-in models.
- Ener1 will be talking to investors about advancements in hybrid batteries. This is good, we like seeing lots of companies with plans for new/better batteries. Gotta get us some of dem new carbon fiber nano tech super cap batteries.
- High gas prices are renewing interest in bicycles too. Zeke and I have been walking the 3.5 miles to/from work a couple times a week…trying to regain our svelte, non-winter figures. ’:^)
Coincidentally, I’ve just started looking for a bicycle. I’m moving quite close to Boston, and figured it’s easier to bike somewhere than to drive and find parking. It’s also in the back of my mind to make it a Jesse-Electric hybrid for the longer trips :) Something that can be easily added/removed as needed.
D’oh, completely forgot the point: Anybody know a good place for bike info? I’m mostly after something cheap ‘n durable, good for pedaling around the city mostly, and exercising on occasion.
What do you guys think of EESTOR,is it true ?
