The progressively admired electric car appears to be growing in speed in specific markets in these previous many years. Though nowhere nearly as prevalent as petroleum based or even hybrid automobiles, with environmental questions and untrustworthy oil reserves, the forthcoming years positively appears to be electric. Governments across the planet are financing research and development of electric cars with a strategy of significantly higher usage within the next several years or so.

The rather accepted electric car appears to be gaining speed in selected markets in these previous couple of years. Despite being nowhere nearly as accepted as gas run or even hybrid cars, with environmental concerns and doubtful oil reserves, the upcoming era surely appears to be electric. Governments all over the globe are funding research and development of electric cars with aims of substantially more usage within the next ten years or so.

Ltd., Battery, Engineering, Harry FullerNissan will work with Sumitomo to recycle batteries from Nissan brand electric cars. They say this will allow them to lower the price on their plug-ins. A new venture will be formed to recycle the lithium-ion batteries.

By  NORIHIKO SHIROUZU And  MARIKO SANCHANTA TOKYO—As the competition for greener cars ratchets up, Toyota Motor Corp. signaled its strong endorsement Wednesday of a new generation of gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles that may serve as a successor to its best-selling Prius. Toyota, along with rival Honda Motor Co., is pursuing plug-in hybrid technology. Such cars can be recharged via an electrical socket and drive many miles on electricity but have a gasoline engine that charges the battery when it runs out of power.

Society of Automotive Engineers Set to Vote this Week It’s been over two years, but the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) seems like it’s about to agree on a standard for charging electric cars and plug-in hybrids . The name is “SAE Surface Vehicle Recommended Practice J1772, SAE Electric Vehicle Conductive Charge Coupler”, or J1772 in short. If the standard passes a vote this… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Although a leader in hybrid cars, generally conservative Toyota has seemed uninterested in developing electric cars–until now. At the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show, Toyota unveiled the FT-EVII, an electric car concept. In putting together the FT-EVII, Toyota used its own off-the-shelf technologies, such as the iQ platform and components from its Synergy hybrid system. Although not on sale in the U.S., gasoline and diesel-powered Toyota iQs are sold in Japan and the U.K.
