2007 Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell Car. No one would mistake Chris Paine for a General Motors shill. In his 2006 documentary Who Killed the Electric Car? , the filmmaker laid out a damning case against GM for unplugging the EV1, the electric vehicle it ...Read more
The History of the Electric Car - Time
LOS ANGELES - Call it an economic and environmental murder mystery in the making: Will a cash-strapped Detroit kill the electric car — again? Stung by an association with gas-guzzling SUVs and pushed to the brink of failure by plunging sales, U.S ...Read more
Detroit woes mean bumpy road for cleaner cars - MSNBC
With the environment such a hot topic, hybrid cars are becoming more prevalent on the roads. The idea of a fully-electric car has been tossed around a bit, from the new Tesla Roadster, a car that is selling for close to $100,000 to the Chevrolet Volt ...Read more
Good idea canned - Missisauga News Online
Without a definitive plan from the auto industry demonstrating a change in their business practices, I strongly disagree with any move to provide government help. Loan guarantees or other support would encourage business as usual, precisely the ...Read more

Most electric transport is directly connected to stationary sources of energy through the grid. Due to the extra infrastructure and difficulty in handling arbitrary travel, most directly connected vehicles are owned publicly or by large companies. These forms of transportation are covered in more detail in maglev trains, metros, trams, trains and trolleybuses. A hypothetical electric vehicle design is Personal rapid transit, a cross between cars and trains optimised for independent travel.
Chemical energy is usually in the form of diesel or petrol. The fuel is usually converted into electricity by a generator powered by an internal combustion engine or other heat engine. This approach is known as diesel-electric or gas-hybrid locomotion.
Another form of chemical to electrical conversion is electro-chemical. This includes fuel cells and batteries. By avoiding an intermediate mechanical step the conversion efficiency is dramatically improved over the chemical-thermal-mechanical-electrical-mechanical process already discussed. This is due to the their $3,000-$4,000 price premium.? To make hybrid vehicles more financially affordable, the IRS permits a one-time tax deduction for hybrid purchases made before 2006.? A tax credit for hybrid and fuel cell electric vehicles.
The world is watching with great interest as researchers work to bring zero-emission, hydrogen powered fuel cell cars from the laboratory to the fast lane.? But most people board their city buses, or watch their luggage rolling to the airplane without ever realizing that they are already reaping the benefits of electric drive technology.
