- Electric Cars For A Reason
The car makers are all abuzz about electric cars. Seems like everyone is trying to build one faster than the others are (or better than the others are planning to do). But the objective of all of them seems to be the existence of the car and not the purpose...

The X Prize. It's goal is to build a viable, production-capable vehicle that can deliver in excess of 100 mpg or its equivalent fuel economy. And the prize? $10 million. Now sponsored in part by Progressive, the contest began back in 2006 and holds...
- 244 Mpg And 125 Mph For 220 Miles
Miles per gallon finally matters on Main Street. And it couldn't have come at a better time for Tesla. We've talked before about high mileage cars that were, for the most part, on the drawing board of lots of independent builders who were scrambling...

Tesla Electric Car Gets Hotter and Hotter
We talked before about the Tesla roadster and its great looks (click here) and now there's a new driving review out that hands it more accolades than ever (click here).
Turned loose with the keys in hand and no copilot, the reviewer took the roadster for an uncontrolled spin and came away a sworn advocate.
"It?s on the highway, though, that the Roadster really shines. Acceleration in this car is a dream ? it really does reach 60 mph and more in under four seconds, and it was the smoothest acceleration I?ve ever experienced" said reviewer Deborah Gage of SmartPlanet.com.
The Tesla is a roadster's Roadster though and you won't find much room for lots of groceries and forget about the suitcase for that overnight trip. You'll have to wait for the Fiskar Karma car if that's what you want, but then it's a hybrid that runs on electric when under 50 miles so as to max out its milage range. But then, it's got four days and some room to stretch out in. Right out of the chute though the Fiskar Karma got lots of applause for its distinctive and georgious sporty design.
There's no doubt about it. The interest in electric and more efficient hybrid transportation has finally reached a momentum sufficient to get these remarkable machines built. It kind of makes one think that when GM killed the EV1 electric car, they threw away the early lead they owned all to themselves at the time. Live and learn. I doubt that Tesla or Fiskar will do that.
