Honda Fit EV concept (2010) first pictures

Honda Fit EV concept (2010) first pictures

Rated 3 out of 53

Robby Tyler, 18 November 2010 11:05

Honda today launched the Fit EV Concept at the LA auto show. Based on Honda's established supermini rather than being an entirely new model in its own right, the Fit EV concept 'hints strongly at the direction and styling for Honda’s upcoming production Fit EV all-electric vehicle' according to Honda. What's with the name 'Fit' then? Readers in the US, China and Japan will need ...

Portugal announces electric car recharging network

Portugal announces electric car recharging network

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Simon Stiel, 25 November 2008 15:26

One of the major drawbacks of electric cars is the lack of national recharging networks. Run out of juice on a journey and most locals will be loathe to let you plug into their mains – especially with energy prices so high. But now Renault and Nissan have announced that Portugal will have a nationwide electric car recharging network built ...

Honda has cast its environmental eye on to its dealerships. Its latest showroom - Inchcape Honda in Romford, Essex – uses recycled rainwater, ground source heating pumps and solar power to slash its energy bill by 30 percent compared to standard showrooms. Why is this Honda dealership so green? Instead of traditional air-conditioning, the 12-car site uses fully automated low-level ventilation ...

Nissan EV-02 prototype (2008) electric CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Nissan has fallen behind domestic rivals like Honda and Toyota in the green stakes. Both have hybrids on sale in the UK but Nissan has nothing. To match the pair Nissan has decided to make a fully electric vehicle (EV) the main pillar of its eco strategy, with plans to have an EV in production by 2010. Luckily Nissan’s had its ...

Smart Fortwo ED (2008) electric CAR review

Smart Fortwo ED (2008) electric CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Andrew Noakes, 19 June 2008 15:16

Smart isn’t trialling 100 electric Fortwos in the UK, instead of Germany, because our petrol prices are higher, or because our congestion charges more swingeing. In fact, it's largely because the Electric Drive conversion and the 'hot' battery technology underpinning the Smart Fortwo ED were both developed by Zytek in Lichfield, Staffordshire. Apart from the electrics, what’s changed in this ...

Nice Mega City (2008) CAR review

Nice Mega City (2008) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Nick Gibbs, 18 June 2008 09:54

Stroll through central London on a weekday and you’d be forgiven for thinking the green car revolution had arrived. In the hour I spent driving the revamped Nice Mega City, I counted 21 electric vehicles. Mostly the G-Wiz (the Mega City’s biggest rival) but also electric delivery vans. In the congestion charge zone, electricity is almost a mainstream fuel. Nice? ...

Nissan is only two years away from launching its first electric car – and there will soon be a full family of battery-powered models, boss Carlos Ghosn revealed today. Forget milk floats or crazy concepts like the Pivo 2 (pictured far right) – he vowed the cars will be desirable and stand alone as real cars that are as practical ...

Mitsubishi's iFamily

Mitsubishi's iFamily

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Liz Turner, 20 March 2008 21:09

The mission of Mitsubishi’s iFamily is to find out whether city-dwelling American and European buyers want a small, cute (and we’d guess cheap) car – and whether they want an electric model. The 'i' has been on sale in Japan since 2006 and in 2009 it will be joined by the i MiEV (Mitsubishi Innovative Electric Vehicle) powered by a ...

Think City (2008) CAR Review

Think City (2008) CAR Review

Rated 4 out of 54

Nick Gibbs, 12 March 2008 08:57

The Think City goes on sale at the end of 2008 with the ability to drive over 100 miles on one charge and hit 60mph. It also looks, steers and, so we’re promised, crashes like a modern city car. If it looks familiar, then you remember Ford’s aborted eco project. This is that same car six years on, back in ...

A new Reva G-Wiz? It looks just like the old one! All the changes on the new G-Wiz i are under the skin, you see. This latest edition - distinguished by the de rigeur 'i' badging - benefits from the latest enhancements to the electric running gear to make it faster, go further, and crash more safely. Reva Electric Car ...
