The Bavarians are pretty keen on their electric range, the i fellowship but good as they may be, they still suffer from the same real world problems. This is why BMW is currently considering adding some range extender devices to the i3 and whatever other pipeline products.

After a spot of bother with a teaser, Toyota finally revealed their RAV4 version that’s powered by Tesla. Being one of the goodies of the Los Angeles Motor Show that’s nearly a production version there’s quite enough reason to be excited.
A little over a week before its scheduled debut at the Los Angeles Motor Show, Mitsubishi released a set of photos of the U.S. version of their all electric i-MiEV. Since it’s been around Japan and Europe for a while it’s only natural that I’m slightly familiar to it but the U.S. spec version is
