Gran Turismo 5

We know now that it's scheduled for release in Japan in March 2010, so we headed down to creator Kazunori Yamauchi's offices to have a chat about what we can expect from his new baby.
Mitsubishi i MiEV

Tall, lanky and cute as a bean, the Mitsubishi i MiEV seems to be a practical electric car for city driving. Shame it's only here for feasibility studies, not to mention lots of gawking.
Subaru Stella EV

It's taken a while, but Subaru's Stella EV will soon go on sale in Japan. With a limited 90km range, its trump card is a fast charging time — 15 minutes for an 80 per cent fill up from a quick charge point.
Volkswagen Passat Ling Yu fuel cell

Don't let the plain Jane clothing fool you, there's impressive powertrain technology hiding in this Passat that emits only water as exhaust.
evMe

The day when we whirr around silently in our electric cars is closer than we think, if the evMe is any indication. All that's needed is for battery prices to collapse, or a sweet boatload of Kevin07 cash.
Tesla Roadster

It might be pricey and limited to the US and Europe, but the Roadster is an exciting glimpse into our, potentially, electric car future. Battery technology sure has come a long way since GM's ill-fated EV1.
Kodak EasyShare P712

Kodak's EasyShare P712 offers a higher level of control than its Z-series brethren, but noise at higher ISOs persists.
Nikon D50

The Nikon D50 is an appealing SLR for family photographers and shutterbugs on a budget.

Toyota says electric cars too pricey, for now

Electric vehicles are clearly the favoured technology for concept cars at the Frankfurt Motor Show this week. But Toyota, the leader in hybrid cars, thinks that the high cost of the Lithium-ion batteries will keep electric cars from penetrating the mass market for another decade.
Better Place's software tells you where you can go
