Kia's funky purple electric concept car
All of a sudden four-seaters are so last year and yet another automaker is about to dazzle us with a stunning 3-seater electric car. This time it's Kia that has cooked up the POP, a cute concept car that will first meet its public at the 2010 Paris Motor Show on 30 September. Kia isn't saying much about the car at this stage, but the design is sure to turn heads

One wheel, two tyres + iPad = T Motion's next electric car
Now for the first time it’s taking aim at the wider consumer market with the GT3, a sleel-looking two-passenger, plug-in electric vehicle that uniquely features a single, wide-stance, rear wheel with two high-performance tires sharing one rim.

How EVs can stop you being a gloomy 'doomer'
'Imagining life without oil, and being ready.'
That's the title of an article in the New York Times about otherwise normal people taking very strange steps to prepare for life after peak-oil. I'll give you some examples. Preparations for a post-petroleum world include growing your own food and stockpiling against shortages or spending three hours on therapeutic telephone calls to help you deal with the prospect of this new world. (Nice to know there's a boom in doom for the counsellors.) Some of the fearful are even converting their investments to gold and silver. These folks who call themselves the 'doomers' are worried that the end of oil will mean food shortages, a collapse of the economy or even a breakdown of civil order.

Nissan boss isn't alone in backing Toyota's move to invest in electric cars
Ghosn feels auto makers need to take a three-pronged approach to addressing the new market that is unfolding in the age of mass produced EVs. "One, they need to be in all technologies from electric vehicles to diesel; two, they need to be in emerging markets, especially China, and 3, they need to have vehicles in each segment." Funny no mention of eco-auto-booming India.
