June 15, 2008Quick StuffThe House of Lords has gone all bloggy. More here, at Slashdot. What do they call their blog? Why, of course, Lords of the Blog. Toyota has has plans to release a plug-in hybrid by 2010 and some interesting other initiatives, most interestingly a battery research initiative. Right now, batteries are the biggest thing keeping plug-in cars from going much below $40000, a serious obstacle to general adoption, though a decreasing barrier given rises in gas pries. BUT, Toyota has much more volume, more cheap car engineering ability, and their battery initiative. I'm very curious to see what price level(s) Toyota comes out at. On the flip side of the coin, here's some decidedly less-likely efficient car tech. The slashdot summary has the right conclusion - if you believe Reuters got what the company's saying right, something I have more reservations about. If Reuters does have it right, though, I call it fraud. Posted by Jon Kay at June 15, 2008 02:56 AMComments
