2012 Mitsubishi i receives price update

Mitsubishi’s take into the electric car craze, the i, just received a new price update for 2012 for more or less believable a reason.

Jaguar’s C-X75 will fight off the BMW i8

As a production prone model, BMW’s i8 EV supercar looks like it’s going to be pretty much unchallenged on the production market. That look may end up being smudged if the British at Jaguar manage to follow through on their plans for the production version of their C-X75 concept. It’s nice to see that there’s

BMW i8 EV supercar revealed

At the same official shindig where the i3 EV was unveiled, BMW revealed the bigger brother, the i8. A joint article would have probably been fitting but I do have a special treatment for the latter so we’ll go a different route. You see, while the i3 and the i8 come from the same family

Nismo introduces Nissan Leaf RC

I would’ve imagined that given the original expenses of development and the low volume sales of the Leaf, Nissan might go under the radar for a while.
