LA goes electric
The cool, green car at the LA Auto Show appears to be the Cooper Mini E – a zero-emissions car designed to comply with California’s zero-emissions standards.
Highlights:
According to AFP, the car will go 150 miles on a charge (that gets me just about to San Francisco and back) and recharges in less than three hours with a special wall unit. The Mini E runs on lithium ion batteries.

While the Mini runs lithium ion batteries, Hyundai is using lithium polymer for a new gen of hybrid vehicles, deemed “Blue Drive.” By 2015, Hyundai says its entire fleet will do 35mpg. And in a green gimmick, Hyundai will link donations to reforestation efforts in Brazil’s rainforest to sales of its luxury Genesis Sedan. Even more gimmicky, Ford Fusion drivers will get a tree icon on their dashboards, which sprouts leaves when you drive modestly and loses leaves when floor it.
