Scrapping Cars & Recycling Blog

Earlier I came across an excellent post posted earlier today, by Evelyn Kanter, and entitled Hybrids and Electric Cars Headline Los Angeles Auto Show | Evelyn … that I suggest all of you read. I’ve included some little excerpts in order to whet your appetites!

 But several other introductions will be making news, too. Honda 3R-C three-wheel concept all-electric vehicle Honda is introducing a new all-electric concept car, plus a new generation of its gas-hybrid technology that’s produced the Insight and the CR-Z sports coupe, the world’s first hybrid with a six-speed manual transmission.  Honda president and CEO Takanobu Ita is hosting the news conference,  which signals to us auto observers that something very big is being announced.  It is unlikely the news will be that Honda is putting into production the 3R-C all-electric three-wheel vehicle shown at the Geneva Auto Show earlier in 2010. Toyota is introducing a plug-in electric version of its popular RA4 SUV.  The RAV4 EV concept uses lithium-ion battery technology from start-up Tesla, which is modifying the design to be more aerodynamic.

 [...]

 Toyota has been testing prototypes of the car, which is scheduled to be introduced in 2012. Mitsubishi is showing its i-MiEV, which is predicted to be one of the next electric vehicles to be available in North American dealerships. Wheego LiFe, one of electric car intros making headlines at 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show California-based Coda Automotive is showing its mid-priced all-electric sedan, and luxury electric car maker Fisker Automotive is showing its first production model of the Fisker Karma.  Both vehicles are expected to be in showrooms early in 2011. And Atlanta-based Wheego is introducing its plug-in all-electric LiFe sub-compact car.

Now then, reading this started me thinking so I had a quick search around for more posts on the subject and uncovered some more greats! e.g. this post posted earlier today, by besbat001, over on Best laptop battery:

Samsung added that the Fiat 500 electric car, electric versions of the Fiat 500 model in 2012 in the U.S. market. Fiat in Italy under the management of Chrysler last year, the U.S. government control out of bankruptcy. The 50-50 joint venture is to BMW in Germany and the U.S.

Fiat in Italy under the management of Chrysler last year, the U.S. government control out of bankruptcy. The 50-50 joint venture is to BMW in Germany and the U.S. auto parts maker Delphi to provide lithium-ion batteries.

Yet another fantastic post on the subject came from janet8729740 on Abagails Blog posted earlier today, entitled Olympus BLM-01 Lithium-ion Rechargeable Battery for C7070, C8080 … which is also definitely worth reading!

I have 2 batteries because of outdoors shoots and this is really enough. Buy the original or you’ll wish you hadWhen I bought my Evolt E-500 it came with a genuine Olympus battery, and I bought a knockoff to use as a hot spare. Admittedly they are new and performance will degrade over time, but in identical conditions the genuine Olympus lasts up to 500 pictures and the knockoff barely 300. I bought a second Olympus battery and have more confidence going out into the field. zabaldubildudel.icio.
