World Record EV Run Smashed by Tesla!

Wednesday, 20 January 2010 20:58 Keen & Green Hybrid Car News
The Record Breakers

EV warrior and down-under rich guy Simon Hackett just smashed the world record for distance driven on a single charge in a production electric vehicle—313 miles! While competing in the bi-annual Global Green Challenge, a cross-continental rally of solar, electric, hybrid, and alternative energy vehicles, Hackett and his co-driver Emilis Prelgauskas simultaneously crushed the previous record of 241 miles, also set in a Tesla Roadster.

Mr. Hackett is a true green enthuz, and we thank all deep-pocketed tree huggers out there for their contributions to the EV evolution/revolution. Without them, we’d be forced to rely on big companies who let corporate agendas and political loyalties cloud their vision. Remember the GM EV1? Our hats are off to you Simon Hackett!

The entire story is written and posted by Simon himself on the Tesla Motors blog. Check it out right here.

Blue Hairs Beware

No, it’s not a hybrid, but it is a plug-in electric with a top speed of 46 mph and a trail of destruction in its wake. And as far as I’m concerned, that makes for great blog fodder. Dubbed “The Crippler” by those who’ve experienced its its wrath, this crazy-ass mobility scooter is not your grandmother’s Lark. Rather, “The Crippler” is a deathtrap—pure and simple!

Wicked E-Ticket Ride - Audi e-tron at Detroit

Thursday, 14 January 2010 20:18 Keen & Green Hybrid Car News
e-tron

First released at the Frankfurt Auto show, then as a revamped version for LA, the crew at Auto Union unveiled their latest iteration of the Audi e-tron concept at the Detroit Auto Show this week. Dubbed of all things, Audi e-tron Detroit Concept, this Motown machine is expected to boogie. With 2 motors putting 204 battery-powered ponies to the rear wheels and a what-the-fuck-were-they-thinking 1,955 ft lbs of torque, this is one hot plug in. Expect this techno-speeder to hit the road in about 2 years.
