| Today’s Buyers Swayed More By Fuel Economy Than Cup Holders Posted: 02 Jun 2010 06:45 AM PDT
America, lets be honest with ourselves for a moment. When it comes to our material possessions, we tend to be a picky bunch. How else can you explain the variety of choices we have when we buy just about, well, anything. This is especially true about cars. And oh how our tastes do change. Just a few years ago, people were buying big gaudy SUV’s and were more concerned with cup holders than fuel economy. But once again, our priorities have changed, and a new study suggests quality and fuel economy are now top concerns among new car buyers. |
| $10 Million Prize For First 500 Mile Battery Pack Posted: 02 Jun 2010 06:43 AM PDT
Some people aren’t as concerned with saving the environment as they are with saving money. Indeed, money is much of the reason why we still don’t have electric cars. In many people’s minds they cost too much for too little range or power. And while we now have cars that can get upwards of 500-600 miles on a tank of gas… electric cars have their work cut out for them. The big factor holding back electric cars are batteries. The government knows this, and currently there is a bill sitting in Congress called the Electric Drive Vehicle Deployment Act of 2010. Among other provisions, it offers a $10 million award to the first developer to come up with a battery pack that can get 500 miles on a charge. |
