Have we hit the Tipping Point for HEVs and BEVs?
I have been given the opportunity to meet some of the world’s most powerful regulators over recent weeks and we are all singing off the same song sheet now. If you are into BEVs, guys, your dreams are shortly to become reality. But for the old auto world now comes considerable pain and in due course a whole new future.
Forget the Tesla sedan - Think's 5-seater OX wins by a mile!

Hold Tight! The US TSA is Hitting the Lithium nail on the head
The TSA is responding to a report from the National Transportation Safety Board that a fire which started in an aircraft at Philadelphia National Airport in 2007 was possibly started by igniting lithium batteries.
