    New Sins and Old Sins...Mitsu Fuel Economy

    The topic is really deserving of it's own thread. Nissan needs the PHEV SUVs, but may relegate Mistubishi Motors to a kei car manufacturer, much as Toyota did with Daihatsu.

    Teapot gets a brand new traction pack under warranty

    Glad to hear you got the car back, and repairs were covered under warranty. Somewhat disturbing to hear that the problems began after "routine servicing" at the dealership responsible for the repairs. My trust in car dealerships ran out years ago.

    Camping with an i-miev

    I guess I'm old school. I think there's plenty of room in the car for a couple of back packs, sleeping bags, and a tent.

    How long will it be before electric cars will be the norm

    The last I had seen, the average age of a car on the road was about 11 years. For every new car or two sold, there's a 20 year old Honda Civic or 30 year old Olds 88 crawling around. That means a 20 year generational turnover. I would say we might see more electrics sold than ICE in another 20...

    Mitsubishi to stop manufacturing cars in the United States

    So far, no official comment. Rumors are often true, but can be quite destructive, even when false. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/07/23/us-mitsubishimotors-usa-production-idUSKCN0PX2GJ20150723

    Joe, those small wind turbines in the last picture...

    Odd. NPS has a page allowing monitoring of each individual turbine. 0 energy produced, though the PV is working fine. http://www.sfnps.org/birds/crissy_wind_turbine_impact_study http://frogdashboard.com/crissy/details.htm?catdidhome=1&buildidhome=1&timeidhome=4
