We are told that the Chevy V is the question now. It's hard to say there is little call for these vehicles, if the operator tries to one on sale for $ 65,590. Although 50 percent price increase is an exception (fortunately not the norm), there are many other suppliers, by adding a few thousand dollars to the price of Chevy's halo car. The question is about the green car news: people willing and able to pay more than MSRP to get it right now to really get your tax dollars to $ 7,500 tax refund? According to our friends Chelsy Sexton in a recent blog:
Those federal discounts or loans must be subject to the sale of vehicles at or below the recommended. This should not prevent retailers to charge more and can afford the innovators and the first block may pay a premium for giving up the rebate - but taxpayers should not subsidize the ego.
Although I do not think it will make a huge difference in reducing the tax breaks given out (not many people will be willing to take a double hit, paying more than MSRP damages and losses), it would almost immediately stop price gouging and must sell the Volt in GM-set price.

So far all the standard calculations and comparison of data.
However, Porsche also touting a new way of measuring how "green " car, the Panamera Hybrid claims that CO2 g / performance than almost all other cars on the road, including the Toyota Prius produces. As mentioned in the forum Autocar Panamera Hybrid has a 2.4 horsepower per gram of CO2 emissions, while the Prius is only about 1.5 hp per gram of CO2. Yes, we are big fans of crunching numbers like this, either. It is clear that the Prius emits less CO2 emissions worldwide, a "green"of the two vehicles. But Porsche is a car that a high performance car that emits less CO2 than a hybrid CS maintainsTags:

And we should not expect anything else from this bizarre concept cars.

Earlier this week, BMW announced that its range of high-tech, alternative technology vehicles, marketed under the name "I" sub-brand. I spread the first two models are I3 and I8, also known as Mega City and the Vision EfficientDynamics, which are both scheduled for the market in 2013.
It seems that BMW plans to a range of alternative fuels has to offer and models. Autocar reports that Ian Robertson, head of BMW sales and marketing, of I3 and I8 as two stops for the brand. "Robertson added that "on Wednesday will be even more books."

The American political landscape is full of problems and the promotion of biofuels, but the general shift towards more and more in our fuel supply. This is the takeaway point from the U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu was admitted to the National Ethanol Conference in Phoenix, AZ recently. Most sharply, Hu said: "We're just beginning to realize the benefits of fuel oil
Hu said earlier all vehicles in the U.S. are able to E85, but that "corn is not the right crop for producing biofuels." Fuels from renewable sources, "said Association President and CEO Bob Dinne in a press conference that" [negative] Hu's comments on our industry is wrong. "Dinne called for a broad debate on the reform proposals to support the production of biofuels appears uncertain economic situation after ethanol producer Magazine:
Changing market incentive to return to the tax cuts of the producer.
Change initiative so that it applies only to mid-level ethanol blends and E85, and fuel produced in the renewable fuels standard is required.
* Transfer of subsidies from production of biofuels and blender pumps and flex-fuel vehicles.
* Based on the results of carbon credits, that "environmentalists prefer."
* Variable tax incentives.
Replacing the battery-powered car risk voiding the warranty of the vehicle, damage to vital parts of the catastrophic failure of the vehicle and maybe even electricity. In addition, an exemption is do-it-ice hack Nissan Leaf standard 110-volt (Level 1) electric vehicle power supply (Evseeva) into something more to his liking.
The goal was simple, change the Leaf Level 1 is a portable device to 220 to 240 (level 2) fee support. In this way, Leaf, at least in theory, will be charged on a cable from a standard 110-V or 240-volt power outlet, eliminating the need for Level 2 charging stations. Moreover, this change seems to indicate the rate to be charged in two installments broke a Evseeva.
Although not approved amendments of this nature is certainly nothing wrong with the long jump leap to try and follow the DIY-er Level 1 Evseeva brought hack Leaf. Video worked, but it might be. If so, you can see photos of the project through MyNissanLeaf.
