Obviously, I am behind the times when it comes to reviewing the 2011 documentary film “Revenge of the Electric Car”. I had bought the DVD four months ago but only gained the time and compulsion to watch the film during the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. Thanks to hard-to-come-by share time and the US Presidential debate provoked [...]
The heat is closing in on Ferrari’s mythical Enzo successor, but the official debut isn’t due until the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. In the meantime speculation is in high gear, and to keep you readers entertained we’ll contribute with a little something of our own to tease your retinas with. It’s time to square your [...]
The next generation of lithium-ion battery technology seeks lofty performance gains. Increase range, longevity as well as improve performance characteristics are all being sought by researchers and engineers to spark the potential of electric vehicles (a type of automobile proving to be a tough sell at this early stage in the game). In a evolutionary [...]
A sign of emerging technology and a push to minimizing the environmental impact of automobiles has led to the sizable production of electric or electrified vehicles becoming a reality. Dismissed for a long time, cars using battery-backed propulsion are being inundated into a world where a well-performing counterpart (the internal combustion engine) has existed as [...]
For a long time, the scope of automotive power was covered by the saying “there is no replacement for displacement”. In the 21st century, the rules for gaining optimum engine power have changed in the face of improving emissions and fuel economy. The widespread usage of technologies such as variable valve timing gasoline direct injection, [...]
As a marketplace that has been embracing automotive mobilization in a big way for over a decade, the intensity for which global automakers are still drumming to be more deeply involved in China. As auto factories and dealerships faced closure through North America as well as Europe, the Chinese auto sector is still on [...]
Entering the first major build-up in electrified vehicle construction in over 100 years, the increased use of battery-derived propulsion ushers forth automotive engineering methodology. Instead of planning a four-wheel vehicle around an internal combustion engine, electric car construction invites a new choir of design and science to dictate what many consider a new frontier [...]
Most readers of Automoblog will be familiar with the issues that have been in the media surrounding the Chevy Volt. The Volt has been hampered by a number of issues, including customer confusion over its gas-and-electric technology and a government investigation into post-crash-test fires, which ultimately vindicated the car. For 2012, Chevrolet has added structural [...]
