These charging points for electric cars are beside the railway station in Crawley. A lot of building work is going on, reducing the size of the station car park.

Of all the cars I've shot a driving video of, this is the only car that has ever defeated GoPro's image stabilization with it's massive torque. Check it out in this video at about the 2:00 mark.

Hyundai has made the headlines with a car that offers 3 different powertrains in the same body : hybrid, hybrid plugin and full electric. It is the Ioniq. But only the hybrid had been presented so far. Now the Korean brand has released images and information on the Ioniq Electric. But it has...

The green way of getting around downtown St Pete, for a $5 flat fare.

Photographed during the July 28, 2012 RM Classic Car auction at St. John's in Plymouth, Michigan.

 

There were four classic electric cars in this year's auction. I was able to capture this one in nice sunlight beneath a dark sky. Sold for $44,000, perhaps about the same price as a brand new electric model.

 

All of my classic car photos can be found here: Car Collections

Remember these? If you live in California, you must. I knew you couldn't get this electric car anymore, but I had no idea that GM took them all back from their lessees and DESTROYED them. That' right, crushed and shredded all but a few that live in museums (or museum basements). Go see who killed the electric car? It's sad, maddening, and quite informative.

A long time ago I bought a Pentax Auto 110 -- a tiny SLR camera that uses 110 size film -- off of eBay. At the time it was still possible to get 110 film, and it was a tiny camera that was fun to carry around, so I shot a few rolls with it. I discovered a roll that I had never scanned, so I scanned it. I just got that camera out of storage again, and I've even got some old film for it, but the film is now 15 years past expiration so I don't know how well it will work (it has not been stored well).

 

I saw this car randomly in a parking lot at an open space preserve. I guess it was a custom retrofit of a vintage car into an EV, but that's all I know.

 

This was back when Tesla was new and exotic. I'm not sure I had seen one "in the wild" yet when I took this. (Also see this photo, taken later the same year: www.flickr.com/photos/joshmt/2979433209 )

This was the first Twizy I ever saw in real. Since then, they didn't sell many. The doors were optional, and the windows came much later, which made it impossible to park outside leaving anything in the car. And what about the rain and cold ? The Chinese made several copies of this little French car, but with real doors and windows. Of course.

The 2016 Geneva Motor Show will be filled with important presentations, but it is a democratic event. Beside the Bugatti Veyron successor, the Chiron, you will be able to see things like the Bee-Bee XS, a new small electric vehicle produced in France.

Work-life and obligatory family responsibilities call for the mind, body, and spirit to recharge as often as possible to offset daily burdens. Therefore, the relaxing resorts, cultured experiences, plant-based eateries, and the mid-century modern architecture of Palm Springs were perfect for my journey. But what’s even more interesting is that the profusion of electric vehicles (EVs) on the market has led us to consciously rethink our lifestyles in order to reduce carbon footprints from what we eat and drink to how we drive and live. Humans overconsume in every category, so mindfulness, minimalist, and reductive habits are vital pillars to saving this planet from self-destruction. As a vegan myself, I know it's an anomalous approach from the norm; however, it is necessary for every facet of living.

Poortsraat, Utrecht

 

As charging points spread throughout the city an electric car becomes a more and more practical choice.

 

But this relies on the residents respecting the equipment and not vandalising it, or stealing the connectors. Bike theft might be rampant in Utrecht (it is!) but vandalism is rare. Would this work in Liverpool's Toxteth, or Manchester's Moss side?

 

This was a cute little thing. Don't know anything about it.
