That Arnold Schwarzenegger film title may be apropos for the California Energy Commission's decision last week to at least temporarily revoke about $27 million in grants earmarked for a string of hydrogen refueling stations through the state formerly governed by the action-film star. ...
Yet, you were here bleating about the lack of safety for the Volt when the first reports of the Volt fire started. So much for consistency... When it looked bad after one fire, you compared the Volt unfavorably with the Tesma Roadster. Now, when the Volt does fine, you refuse to accep...

A new Civic 5 door like mine is a similar price to the Chevy but with a smaller engine. I'd have a guess (without driving that Chevy 2.4) that the 1.8l Honda would be nicer to drive though! Honda is a much more desirable brand in Israel than Chevy (or Renault for that matter). One dis...
Okay, that did it. Now I am beginning to feel embarrassed to drive a Ford since they, apparently, are controlled by the same idiot GM is controlled by. Of course electric car will never be "profitably" if they never come out with any. For 20 years Ford produced the ugliest vehicles on...
I like the idea of allowing the leaf to supply household power during an outage - this is cheaper and more efficient than the generators that many people buy as a power source backup, but I am reluctant to waste battery cycles providing peak power for utilities because this will cause...
But then again, the BMW ActiveHybrid 5 wasn’t built to compete with the gas mileage kings of the subcompact and compact car segments: it was designed to be a greener option for buyers in a segment where cars struggle to get above 22 mpg combined and the Toyota Prius isn’t a purchase o...
