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...

OMG this are awesome news, beautiful pics, great personalities, thank you, looking forward for the videos. Anyway, would be about time for Chris Paine to finish his film with a whole lot of EV's rolling out.:smile:

Thanks for the laugh. This going in direction of Arnies terminator :biggrin:

Thanks for your post, bolosky, I appreciate, how efficient the electric transportation is, including the Tesla Roadster. An order of magnitude more efficient is my electric scooter, with only 3.5kWh/100km, translated in american measures: 3.5kWh/60miles, or 60 Wh/mile! And is also can carry...

I would agree, the performance could be better, although I guess they didn't probably put much importance on that, because a higher performance also needs careful driving with a 3-wheeler. Anyway you are driving with this vehicle like there would be snow on the street - moderate speed to enter a...

Pininfarina Newsletter Dear Sir, Madam, You are one of the very first to have expressed your interest in our electric vehicles and we want first of all to thank you very much for that. Presented last year at the Geneva Motor Show, the first BlueCar, designed and developed in collaboration...

Here are my impressions of the Auto Zurich, Switzerland, which is taking place from 5/11 to 10/11/09 at messe Zurich. The first interesting point was Fisker Karma. It is entering production next spring, with the first cars being delivered in about July 2010. Then I catched an view of the...

energy for drilling the oil In addition to the energy used for the refinery comes the amount of oil, that is used to drill the oil. The estimated worldwide efficiency is 17:1 and is continuously declining. This accounts for a 6% of the oil used to drill it. (theoildrum.com)

Hello Antimonie, Je suis suisse, je parle aussi le francais, mon language materne est l'allemand, et je parle aussi l'anglais, español et italien. As I told before, I would be more than ready to participate in a bilingual or multilanguage version of the TMC.:smile: Felix

An electric car changes the equation considerably: There are much less expenses for the juice, the electric drivetrain is extremely durable and could last 500'000km - or even 1 million km - so after the initial purchase the highest cost is for replacing the battery. So the purchase of the...

"Dsacks6 primed his forum with some provocative questions that got people to sign up and start responding" This is a good starting point. There were some quite basic, simple, interesting, but not too provocative questions as a starting point. This doesn't seem too difficult. Also there are...

While I've got many ideas out of the TMC, Autobloggreen and others how a german club should look like - how can we ensure to get enough public? How can we promote a german TMC? How was the beginning of the TMC, who started and promoted it?

@TEG How did you figure it out - I just sold my Chevrolet dealership - for the money received I'm buying now an electric I-Miev! Now who would decide inside the TMC, about such an extension? Would there be a button to switch to the german section? Or would there be even another URL...

Tesla Motors continues its success and will open a store in munich, germany and zurich, switzerland, basically right next to my door. Although there are many attempts to establish green business in europe, there is an already large history of green politics - there is no well known public...
