One way to lose weight is to eat more fruit. Turns out a fruit diet is good for cars too. Researchers in Brazil have made a lightweight plastic from the nano-fibers of bananas, pineapples, and coconut shells. I already knew fruit was amazing, and the process of weaving wood fiber into paper has been around [...]
We all know electric cars are still quite expensive, but automakers believe there are people who will pay a premium to drive emissions free. Even so, Volvo’s $2,100-a-month lease for its C30 EV seems like an expensive pill to swallow. Volvo, the perky Swedish brand which was recently sold by Ford to Chinese car company [...]
People don’t like to wait. That’s what made Domino’s Pizza the success it was in the 1980s and it’s what makes electric cars such a tough sell today. Call it “range anxiety” if you want, but you can run out of gas, too, and nobody complains about that. What is really at the heart of [...]
New York has perhaps taken a big step towards endorsing an electric car future by installing its first EV charging station at the Brooklyn Bridge Park. The station was donated by the Brooklyn-based Beautiful Earth Group and will operate completely autonomously as it is powered by solar panels which will produce 5.6 kilowatts of power [...]

Finally though, the first Karma is complete, with more to come. The Fisker Karma was first introduced in January of 2008 at the Detroit Auto Show. We’ve seen countless images, [...]
Ah, the LeCar. We had one of those in the driveway while I was growing up, and I vividly remember being driven to school by my uncle when the little LeCar caught fire. This was, it should be noted, a commonplace enough thing that I simply started spraying the fusebox with the small extinguisher we’d [...]
Jalopnik tipsters recently captured photos of camouflaged Porsches filling up at a California Chevron station. The really interesting part? Apparently the cars made no noise, and pulled out of the station running silent. The “hybrid” implication was driven home even harder with brakes showing extra devices attached, which Jalopnik’s writers think might be there to [...]
