Looks like the Fiends over at DriverSide (hey Jon, Brian!) were able to talk their way behind the wheel of the all-electric MINI E at the LA Auto Show. Unlike other plug-in electrics out there, the E actually promises to be somewhat fun to drive, have a decent range and minimal charge time. How minimal? [...]

We really haven’t heard much from the three EV’s Dodge unveiled earlier this year. The cars just sort of popped up and faded into the background buzz surrounding the supposed merger talks between Chrysler and GM. Or Nissan. Or the federal government. The most exciting of the ‘lectrics popped it’s head out of the corporate [...]

Infamous tuner Brabus has turned their eye towards the all-electric Tesla Roadster, tweaking the car’s exterior for a more sinister appeal. Aside from the matte-white paint scheme, the company installed a custom carbon fiber front lip and rear diffuser and swapped the stock wheels and tires for more aggressive bits. Here’s the really nifty bit. [...]

If you think you want to be one of the lucky 500 Californians to slide behind the wheel of the all-electric MINI E, get ready to bust open that piggy bank. The company has just announced lease details, including the per month price tag of $850 for 12 months. While dropping a cool $10k on [...]

It’s true. It looks like the Spirit of Ecstasy will be sitting atop an all electric Rolla sometime soon. According to CAR Magazine Online, Rolls-Royce CEO Tom Purves has his eye on a green ultra-lux machine for customers that only need to make quick jaunts into town to stock up on Grey Poupon. After driving [...]

This was bound to happen sooner or later. Take the pint-sized, driving-bliss MINI and swap the go bits for electrics. MINI has pulled the wraps off its EV version ahead of the LA Auto Show coming next month. Power comes courtesy of a 201 hp electric motor mated to a 35 kw/h lithium-ion battery pack. [...]

While German Porsche nuts Ruf had originally planned to work an all-electric powertrain into the Cayman, the company has opted for the bigger-bodied 997 911. With plenty of room for the extra 1,200 lbs of batteries and the capacity to sufficiently cool them, the 911 serves as a better donor than the svelte Cayman. Even [...]

Is it a Nissan day, or what?  While the Japanese company is making waves going to war with Porsche, it’s also been busily working on an all-electric vehicle. We showed you the Cube-based EV a while back, branded the EV 02, and while that squared off prototype scoots around under its own gusto just fine, [...]

Why yes — that is our buddy Wes Siler riding a motorcycle around his Williamsburg loft. But here’s the deal — it’s an Electric bike, so he’s not bugging the neighbors. Or annoying the cockroaches with noxious emissions. That’s right, you can just plug the Quantya Strada in. Jump over to Jalopnik for Captain Siler’s [...]

Yo! Podcast, Day 2, coming at you now! We had a bit of what we thought was technical difficulty and what turned out to be me being dumb. So, sorry this is a bit late, but here it is! Today, “Mr. Justin” and myself discuss the three new electric Chryslers, the new supercharged Audi S4 and [...]
