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.
Well, this is a lesson for the BEV product planners and engineers, as this ruling creates a widespread public awareness of the dangers of lithium ion battery packs in cars, trucks and buses, be they HEVs or BEVs.

Pininfarina to make its first electric car
If, like me, you recognise the Pininfarina name but can't put a car model to it, just take a wee look here.
Jeremy Clarkson, eat your heart out. These Italians have been making fabulously beautiful cars since 1930 and according to Reuters they're about to buddy up with a French financier Vincent Bollore. In a JV project worth about 150 million euros they're aiming to put a small 4-seater electric car on the market under the Pininfarina brand by the summer of 2009. Now THAT will be worth watching out for.
