The Port of Los Angeles has put into service the world’s first all-electric port truck, a behemoth capable of hauling 60,000 lbs. of freight.
That’s just over 22 Teslas, or a 40-foot shipping container full of televisions from Korea or furniture from China...

| Anyone remember the Vanguard-Sebring CitiCar? This tiny, angular, two-seat battery electric car built in Florida from 1974-1977 looks as if it could have been the spiritual predecessor of the Smart (highly doubtful), and now Smart is poised to bring an electric version of its familiar Fortwo commuter car to our shores. Series production began in mid-November on the regular production line in Hambach France. This variant, unlike the 100 experimental first-gen e-Smarts, uses a 16.5-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack that replaces the fuel tank below the seats and between the axles, out of harm's way and as low as possible. The rear-mounted 30 kW motor (40 hp) provides 89 lb-ft of torque. That's up by a third from the first-gen motor, which drew from a sodium-nickel-chloride battery that required heating to work. Lessons learned in the earlier electric Smart have driven development of this car, 1000 of which will be produced for lease during the second quarter of 2010 in selected European and U.S. cities prior to wider production beginning in 2012. |

| The Wheego Whip is a car any true motorhead would consider to be punishment meted out by Al Gore to make us atone for the Dodge Viper. The little electric car is slow. It’s heavy. And frankly, it isn’t much to look at. But the Whip is a pretty good commuter car that will do a fine job hauling you around town in something approximating comfort and convenience. We spent some time behind the wheel and can say the Whip is neighborhood electric EV with acceptable range and a reasonable recharge time. It also costs $18,995. Yikes... |
