I remember reading about people using electrically heated coats, designed for motorcycle riders and people who work outdoors in the winter, that are powered for a few hours by a relatively small battery that fits in a pocket of the coat. That leads me to wonder if you couldn't provide some sort...

The Phinergy/Alcoa Aluminum-Air "battery" looks like a potentially good technology as a range extender. I put battery in quotes because it seems more accurate to describe it as using aluminum as fuel and it isn't electrically rechargeable. From the video it looks like replacing the aluminum...

I haven't tried it but a recent update to Google Maps (for android at least) allows you to download maps for an area for offline use. http://www.google.com/webhp?client=tablet-android-google&source=android-home" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If they have their currencies straight the i3 may be rather more expensive than earlier speculation, 40,000 British pounds ($63,324 U.S.) before incentives. I'm not sure what the usual price ratio of US and UK car prices.

http://www.thechargingpoint.com/news/2014-Renault-Zoe-pure-electric-car-could-have-220-mile-range.html An interesting advantage of the "lease the battery" and quick swap battery approach is that with the buy-the-battery model you probably wouldn't want to announce that an upcoming model will...

Surely the BMW i-3 deserves its own thread? http://www.bmw-i.com/en_ww/bmw-i3/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; What do you think the chances are that the i-3 will come out in any number by the end of 2013? What do you think the chances are that it will be priced at the commonly...

Right near the end he says "... the new Nissan directions, innovation and excitement for everyone." I think the ESFLOW embodies those ideas to a greater extent than the TownPod. It's got ideal qualities for a commuter car, and then you add the attractive styling. With 1.5 times the range of...

Watching this video I think the COO is in the ES Flow camp: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKORjKGxvlU

The car described in that article is NOT the ESFLOW.

Arcimoto has unveiled their production prototype, actually several variations: http://www.arcimoto.com/products I was kind of fond of third gen version...

I was looking at a picture of the esflow today and noticed it doesn't have any visible windshield wipers. I haven't seen any pictures that have a really good view though. Is that just a concept car thing or could there be wipers hidden away there? Or is this just a weight reduction thing... ;)

Would anyone care to take a guess at the kWh sizes of the three ranges?

It always astounds me how often people way "this doesn't meet my needs so it's junk!". I'm primarily referring to blog comments, and I know that BlueSL has said it does meet his needs, but in way of illustration, if BlueSL's 1% estimate is right that's some 120,000 vehicles a year in the US...

Just googling around to see what is being offered for $10k I found two Brammo electric motorcycles: 3.1kWh battery, 60+ max speed and 42 mile range (urban commuting) 20 mile range (high speed commuting) $8k price 6.0kWh battery, 60+ max speed and 80 mile range (urban commuting) 40 mile range...
