Next generation vehicle architecture or the first LEGO car? You choose.
Just imagine how it would be if you could design your own electric vehicle with all the motor, battery and drive train basics built in. The modular TREXA EV lets you do just that. It provides a low profile base - known in the trade as a 'skateboard' - with all that stuff built in and you just stack whatever you want on top, so not only does it look the way you want, but you get to specify the acceleration, suspension and speed.

The electric car you can take on a train
the release refers to it as a lightweight 'lovebug' ... Steady on, chaps! Just because it has a joystick instead of a steering wheel there's no need for that sort of language.

Tesla launches electric car Para-Medic Squad
Haven't they heard of the Automobile Association or the RAC? I thought that was what those guys have been doing for yonks - our cherished 'knights of the road' who represent the 4th emergency service in the UK - so couldn't they just be trained up to include electric cars on their house call rota?

BMW to join the electric car chase - and now there's big US money in it
On the very day that Obama announces a $2.4 billion electric vehicle grant in the U.S. I read here that BMW is planning to launch a new class of environmentally friendly vehicles under its own brand. According to its CEO 'certain carmakers may no longer be in the market' soon after the raft of tax penalties and incentives come into effect to force the auto industry to go green.
So BMW has decided to create a new sub-brand

Shocking new electric car from China
It's not pretty, the interior's a bit old-fashioned and it gave the driver a mighty electric shock when he accidentally touched the battery, but ... it has a top speed of 75mph, a 'quite feasible' claim to run 250 miles on one electric charge, it seats four and it's planned to come on sale in the UK for between £16,300 and £20,500.
