Test A iPad 4 Free

OK, this is sort of a commercial for the Chevy Volt, but I found it interesting. It explains how the Volt works, what the emission-free EV mode is, how the engine generator works, and many of the other things you probably want to know about this plug-in hybrid.

The Chevy Volt is one vehicle we can really get behind. It’s hard not to be a little excited over it — we have, after all, been watching its development for quite a long time now. The electric car gets an impressive 230 miles per gallon in the city (and, all shaky rating practices aside , that’s nothing to scoff at). Autoblog...

New Eneloop Bike Recharges On the Flat
Sanyo has added a new electric bike to its Eneloop line-up, and it comes with the brand-new Eco Charge Mode . We first saw the Eneloop bike when we took it for a spin around the car-park at CES in Las Vegas (before being kicked out by a security guard). That bike would charge only on downhill sections and when decelerating, or braking. The Eco...

2009 LA Auto Show: Eco Cars
By Evan Ackerman Your hybrid is great and all (never mind that it’s arguably more wasteful of resources than my old Volvo), but it’s no longer cool enough to just have a hybrid. Everybody is producing hybrids now, and they’re just not making enough progress where progress needs to be made. There are a few companies, though, who... 
Head-on crash test: 2009 Chevy Malibu vs. 1959 Bel Air
When compared with the decidedly average looks of the 2009 Chevrolet Malibu, you may be tempted, when confronted with the sleek retro stylings of the 1959 Chevy Bel Air, to utter a, “They just don’t make them like they used to!” Well, if the crash test above is any indication, maybe that’s a good thing. In a vicious driver-side-to-driver-side,...

Turn your Chevy into a roaming hotspot
Here’s an interesting thought. Rather than driving to a Wi-Fi enabled location why not always take it with you? Chevrolet has announced that they will offer a dealer-installed wireless internet system for some SUV, truck and van models.

If Santa drove a Chevy, his would have 3,000 lights on it just like this one
It all started 25 years ago, when Kris Marshall of Iowa decked the halls hood of his truck with a strand of Christmas lights. Fast forward to today and he’s still carrying on the tradition of the “Christmas Truck,” but now his truck is 3,000 lights strong. According to Jalopnik : It’s amazingly nontechnical, it’s...
