Here's a link to an article about the "Think City", being built in Norway.
One interesting item is that because the battery accounts for about half the cost of the car, they're considering selling the car, but leasing the battery. Another tidbit from the article is that this company's ownership passed through the hands of Ford in the late '90s when Ford saw it as one way to respond California's Zero-Emission Vehicle mandate. Once the auto giants solved the problem in a more typical way -- they helped scuttle the mandate -- Ford promptly sold the company. http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/highway1/la-hy-neil25-2008jun25,0,6115678.story -- Michael Dineen _______________________________________________ For more information about sustainability in the Tompkins County area, please visit: http://www.sustainabletompkins.org/ RSS, archives, subscription & listserv information for: [email protected] http://lists.mutualaid.org/mailman/listinfo/sustainabletompkins free hosting by http://www.mutualaid.org
