Checking the carbon footprint of the National Grid
I've written an online application that allows you to check the carbon footprint of the National Grid. The data feed is updated every five minutes and monitors the carbon footprint and the grid utilisation, and reports on what sort of power station is producing the energy (coal, gas, nuclear, etc.) ...

Both my G-Wiz and my iMiEV are very good in the snow. I think with the G-Wiz it is very much dependent on tyres - some people get on well with them whilst others struggle. The low centre of gravity helps (the batteries in both vehicles are low down, close to the centre of the vehicle) and this, alon...

Mitsubishi iMiEV
I pick up my brand new Mitsubishi iMiEV electric car at the weekend. 25 people have been selected to test them, so it will become my wife's main car whilst I continue with the G-Wiz.

It depends on what you want, but there are a lot of companies that manufacture 'street furniture', and many of these do electric hookup bollards.

Actually, from what I have managed to find out, the manufacture of batteries may not be as bad as the critics would have you believe. For sure, they are the 'dirtiest' part of an electric car manufacture, but not considerably so. From the charging point of view, of course, you can always measure the...

Unlike the journalist at the Daily Mail, I've read this report. I can say with confidence that the journalist at the Daily Mail has not read the report because he's taken figures entirely out of context to create his news article.
