The LE concept is at the Geneva motor show, but it looks like a niche product there, and the star is the new Q50 diesel. No one shall doubt that they are committed to EVs but they know what sells.

There's never been a plug-in hybrid SUV on the market so nobody shall be surprised of a strong initial demand. But that doesn't mean it will last. I've understood that there will be delays in Europe. The PHEV Outlander is available now in Switzerland, but France and Italy will have to wait till...

I've seen such a system on the factory navigation system of a brand new Toyota Yaris. To find the best route, the system proposed me 3 choices: fastest, shortest distance, or ecological. That last one avoided fast highways and the busiest areas so I could drive at a constant moderate speed...

OK, you rent the battery, but then you have to pay forever. Or as long as you'll own the car. Imagine you have an accident, and you can't drive for 2 months, you'll have to pay anyway. And when you'll want to sell the car, who will buy an used car that requires you to pay every month for renting...

Nothing original here. The complete drive train comes from the Volkswagen Golf Blue-e-motion (Seat belongs to the Volkswagen group).

I'm sure this will be the best EV ever made. Too bad it will cost even more than the standard gasoline SLS. But the engineers shall learn a lot working on independent torque control for each wheel. This knowledge could be used in more affordable models sometimes.

I believe this is PR. Nothing will come from this, there's no budget nor any timetable defined. the real news was that BMW will sell diesels to Toyota.

Ford's position looks pretty good to me, because they will manage to have some electric cars on the road next year without having invested the billions Nissan spent. I wonder about pricing, people will compare with the regular ICE Focus. Has anyone compared the price of a Leaf against the price...

It's a twin to the Renault Twizy that should be available in Europe next year.

BMW has acknowledged they will not make any money with the Megacity at first, exactly like Nissan with the Leaf in fact...

Has anyone thought of a warranty issue? I doubt Nissan doesn't mind that its cars are used as back-up generators, and would not be surprised to learn that any V2G application voids the warranty. I understand it's not much, but if it increases the strain on the battery, Nissan will not like it.

A convertible might be too much asking, but I would appreciate a 2-door. I think there's too many 4-door around, few people needs a 4-door everyday.
