As seen on the streets of Culver City. Apparently this fine piece of art-chinery debuted at Burning Man this year. It's electric with a 20 mile range. And it can go up to 30 mph. Oh, and it's made out of wood, plexi and rope.

Wish List: EV Smart Car Unveiled In Paris

From Grist.org:

Automaker Daimler unveiled an all-electric version of its tiny Smart car at the Paris Auto Show this week, dubbed the Smart ED for its electric drive. Diesel-powered versions of the ultra-cute, ultra-compact Smart Fortwo went on sale in the United States this past January to wide acclaim. The company's goal is to have some 1,000 of the all-electric Smart Fortwo's in operation in various cities around the world by the end of 2009, with some available in the U.S. by 2012 at the latest. Daimler has been testing 100 or so of the Smart EDs in London since last year and has said it will also test 100 more in Berlin soon. The tiny Smart ED will be able to travel some 90 miles on a full charge and has a top speed of about 74 miles per hour.

Green: The Air Resource Board Lets CA Down

From Wired.com:

"After a marathon day-long meeting, the Air Resources Board unanimously approved slashing by 70 percent the number of zero emission vehicles we'll see on the road within six years. State regulators had proposed cutting the number by 90 percent."

WTF?!  Booooooooo!

"Confused? You aren't alone. "No one has any idea what just happened," said Zan Dubin Scott of Plug In America, an EV advocacy group. "The board doesn't even know what it voted on." 

Amen and Hallelujah to that, Zan!
