IBM Helping Denmark Develop Country-Wide Electric Car Network
I was saying the other year that Denmark is powered mostly by its wind farms, and that the energy generated by these wind farms is in excess.

T10 Minicar: The Japanese Electric Car With One Door
A company called Takeoda Jidosha Kogei Ltd, from Toyama City, Japan, shows what could be the ultimate price-beating electric vehicle: a minicar called "T10". They have a precedent with such small, city cars, represented by the "Milieu R", but that only has one seat, and it's not very comfortable not having the possibility to have another person near you. It's a kinda selfish car, don't you think?
