2009-08-19 05:44:00 One of the most compelling arguments against all Plug-In Electric Vehicles is the local grids ability to handle to extra load. With only a few, there shouldn?t be a problem, but as more people begin to transition to plug in type vehicles, the demand for power will sky rocket with no real way to supplement it. To combat this problem, Ford has developed a system that will actually talk to the local grid while plugged in.

Fastskinz Vehicle Wraps May Not Be an Easy Solution to Increased Miles per

GM and SAE Team Up to Standardize Electric Vehicle Charging System
2009-04-24 06:45:00 If you own a cell phone, or anything that charges from a wall out let for that matter, chances are you have already been through the headache of carrying a hand full of chargers that each work on a single device. Even products made by the same company rarely work on a different model and in some cases, a single year difference can bring an entirely new adapter. Looking at this, General Motors saw a problem coming down the road with our plug in electrics and always trying to find the right adapter for the right vehicle. From this, a new movement to standardize the connections for all new plug-in vehicles has started and, in my opinion, should be forced onto some other markets as well.

GM restructuring plan eliminates High Performance Vehicle Operations
2009-02-19 01:46:00 GM's 2009-2014 Restructuring Plan, <http://preprodha.ecomm.gm.c-om:8221/us/gm/en/news/govt/docs-/plan.pdf > submitted on the 17th to Congress, essentially eliminates a number of brands and products. Most, such as Hummer, won't be missed by Driving Enthusiasts. What will be missed is GM's High Performance Vehicle Operations - the unit that created the V-series Cadillacs and products like the Cobalt SS. It's been eliminated for cost cutting purposes and it's engineers are moving to other duties in the company. GM will be focusing solely on fuel economical vehicles going forward. That means no more specialty V or SS models. AutoWeek has the complete story here: <http://www.autoweek.com/art-icle/20090218/CARNEWS/902189973- >

Small Auto Loans - Complementing Your Amount to Purchase Vehicle
2009-01-19 13:55:00 If you are financially sound, you may well pay in cash for small cars. But it is not always possible for everyone to pay the entire amount in cash. In such cases, people generally approach the money lenders. Based on their status, they can take small auto loans as a secured or an unsecured loan.Small car loans refer to financing some part of the total cost of the vehicle. Though there are few companied that fully finance a vehicle, these small loans cater to much lower per cent of the total price of the vehicle; say 50 to 60 per cent.For secure small car loan, you can place any collateral. This is good for people who have some property and can risk the property for financing their vehicle. On the other hand, there are people who do not have any such property or are not willing to place any collateral. They can go for the unsecured small auto loans.There are some requirements that are to be met for availing unsecured small car loans. You have to be a resident of UK; you have to be ab...
