Mercedes AMG on Geneva Motor Show I just saw the announcement of the Mercedes AMG electric, seems to be due out in 2015. It's the first time I saw it, but obviously nothing new. It's astonishing that the AMG only achieves a 0-60miles acceleration of 3.9sec, somewhat slower than the Tesla...

Das Signal ist gesendet und schon angekommen. Siehe Chevrolet Volt, Nissan Leaf, Renault Zoe (lieferbar), und weitere Sowie die angekündigten Toyota RAV und Mercedes in Kooperation mit Tesla. Wenn DAS mal nicht ein Signal an andere Hersteller ist?:smile: Aber für Fahrzeuge der...

Energiekosten Verbrenner versus Elektro Genau, das errechnet sich so: Benzinrechnung für 25'000 km pro Jahr, 5.5l/100km à 1.90/l = 2600.-- Sfr / 2200 Euro pro Jahr. demgegenüber Stromkosten für 25'000 km pro Jahr 15 kW/100km à 9 Rp = 337 Sfr / 300 Euro pro Jahr Auf die Lebensdauer der...

Wirtschaftlichkeit Elektroautos Unter bestimmten Bedingungen ist die Elektromobilität schon jetzt günstiger als die benzinbetriebenen Autos. Es ist einfach wichtig, sich darüber klar zu werden, dass nicht jedes Elektroauto jeden Zweck erfüllen kann. Wie meine ich das? Nehme hier meine...

Preisgestaltung Schweiz, Testfahrt Hier könnte ich sicher etwas machen, ich habe eine Reservation getätigt und warte auf die Einladung zur Testfahrt. Wir sind zwar bereits zu zweit, da ich das Fahrzeug zusammen mit meinem Adoptivsohn erwerben werde, aber es gibt ja noch genug Platz im...

But you have to subtact the pent-up purchasers. Those who have been waiting their whole lives for this car. (or even since the Roadster of they heard of the Leaf) Point is the Volt and Leaf have used up those anxious early adoptors and are now giving great deals to keep the sales flowing...

official e-cars message? It would be nice to understand your official EV sign. As an european I'm probably not used to such signs. Could you paint it - or post a foto of it here? That would be very nice!

Nissan Leaf: Car of the year 2011! Not sure if this has been registered on our site yet, but this is great news, another break through for the EV community: http://www.caroftheyear.org/

Some of Rich Mullers explanations are very misleading. His explanation that CO2 is following and not preceeding GW is clearly misleading. GW caused by humanity shows an inverse relation. This is probably because he is a physicist and not a geologist. The IPCC report two years ago was plenty of...

The anoxic event is only one consequence of the melting poles. We must suppose that considerable amounts of methan hydrate will be released into the atmosphere as a consequence of global warming and the melting north pole. Methan is a powerful greenhouse gas. The amount of carbon stored on the...

This has been discussed before several times. Latest thread see here: http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/2625-CO2-Emissions-EV-vs-Diesel?hig But many of the comparisons doesn't take into account the energy, which is needed to produce oil, refine it and transport. If you know that...

I like the new design too! What I don't like is the letters. Seems to be Times New Roman. The former version was better readable - well just my first impression. Thanks for your effort!

That was a great event in zurich. I got the opportunity to talk with different people. A friend of mine told me there's some confusion about how to charge the roadster at the european/swiss grid. He said, the easiest solution would be an adapter for the american charger, which would make it...

I'll be there tomorrow, together with my son Enrique, I'm looking forward to meet a lot of interesting people from the EV scene and get some pics.

I was at the fair too. We saw two remarkable EV's which are close to the market: Nissan Leaf can be ordered in Summer this year, I could receive my car in the beginning of the next year. Estimated price: 20000 Euro. Remarkable is the difference between Nissan and the car of his partner...
