Cool Things

Today's Cool Thing:

The EVCast podcast. Started just a week or two ago, this is a weekday-daily podcast designed to bring laymen and laywomen (such as myself) up to speed on the different technologies, companies, and politics surrounding the development and release of electric vehicles. The multiple technologies used in this race to create commercially-viable EVs are really fascinating, even to someone who doesn't understand them much. Give it a try!

And just to give you some visuals concerning the podcast's contents, here are some of my favorite up and coming EVs:


The Fisker Karma. Showy and pricey, but you can't deny the waves of sex appeal wafting from this car.


The Imperia GP by Miysis. My current favorite EV - it's may not be as flashy as the Karma, but it's classic roadster design shows a respect for automotive history that true car lovers can appreciate. If I could buy any EV for myself, this would be it.


And, of course, the Tesla Roadster, featured several times on this blog. Man, I hope that Tesla can establish themselves as a permanent presence on the automotive scene. They're preparing to open their second store in New York sometime this summer. Keep an eye out for the unveiling of the Tesla Whitestar sedan concept later this year.
