These provide locally emission-free driving, thus making a considerable contribution towards protecting the environment and reducing dependency on fossil fuels. The initiative covers all components required for the efficient use of battery-powered electric vehicles from innovative drive technology through to customer-friendly infrastructure. Daimler will provide more than 100 electric cars from Mercedes-Benz and smart as well as the vehicle service.
RWE, Germanys largest energy company, is handling the development, installation and operation of the charging infrastructure accounting for some 500 charging stations, the supply of electricity and central control of the system. The payment system takes the form of the exchange of data between a special in-car communication system and the intelligent charging point. This unique co-operation brings together the specific know-how of two key industries. The project is being supported by the German federal government due to its significance in terms of sustainable mobility in the future.
Daimler AG CEO, Dr. Dieter Zetsche and the CEO of RWE, Dr. Jürgen Grossmann unveiled details of the joint project in the presence of German Chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel.

Malcolm Bricklin On Hybrid Cars, Auto Bailout and The Car Cz
If you’ve ever sen the car in the video it’s called the Bricklin SV-1 and was made between 1974 and 1976. It’s maker is Malcolm Bricklin, an American Entrepreneur. Bricklin brought Suburu to America from Japan, as well as Fiat X1-9, and the Yugo.
In the 90s he turned his attention to making environmentally friendly vehicles, making an electric bike called The EV Warrior.
Today, Bricklin is combining his experience with fuel cell technology and his knoweldge of manufacturing techniques and economics to create a line of plug - in hybrid vehicles or PHEVs, which he says can be installed in your car right now, making it more gas efficient.
I sat down with Bricklin at the San Francisco screening of “The Entrepreneur” , a movie about him. In our talk, he revealed that he got a call that morning to be the President-Elect’s “Car Czar”, a job he turned down. He explained why.

This video is one of General Motor’s Saturn division’s most recent television advertisements. Titled ‘Rethink’ it tells you to rethink, and focus on the more important things. Towards the end of the ad, it showcases Saturn’s current new-car lineup; 2007 Saturn Aura Green Line Hybrid Sedan, 2007 Saturn Sky Roadster and 2007 Saturn Outlook (our next car). The ‘rethink American’ theme is supposed to tell imported car buyers and criticizers of American domestic cars to reconsider their opinions by trying out one of Saturn’s may new cars (Sky, VUE, Outlook, Aura and (soon) Astra. Saturn’s commitment to quality products is very impressive, and their style is not only unique but very attractive. Their cars offer options that no one else delivers. Saturn’s 2007 model line-up far surpasses their previous models in quality, and is a true threat to Toyota, Honda and Ford.
