Chrysler joins the race for the first mass market electric car

I am really happy that car companies are all starting to go in the same direction with alternative energy sources.  Really, electricity is the only logical choice for replacing the internal combustion engine.  As new technology comes out it can be worked in to replace the small gasoline engine that some of these cars use to extend their range.

I think I need to make my civic last about 5-8 more years so I can buy a really sweet electric Jeep.

 

Nissan plans to start testing

Nissan plans to start testing an all-new electric car being developed in Japan and aims for global sales of the still-unnamed battery-powered car by 2010.

Unlike GM's rechargeable Volt, Nissan's new electric car would have no back-up combustion engine, making it a zero-emission vehicle.
