Volvo’s New Car Turns from Plug-In Electric, to Hybrid, to Diesel With a Button
February 23, 2011 No Comment
Image credit: Volvo How does a car maker settle the problem of deciding to make an all-electric car, a hybrid electric car, or a diesel engine car? They can only make one vehicle so which will it be? Volvo has decided… all three! Yep, the car maker has come up with a new model that can go from an all-electric car with a 30-mile range to hybrid to diesel with just the switch of a button. We heard last October that the company was planning a V60 diesel hybrid , but a vehicle that can be all three? Seemingly, the Volvo… Read the full story on TreeHugger

February 23, 2011 No Comment
Ever since they struck an alliance back in 1999, Renault and Nissan have been super tight, sharing both a CEO and a goal to make EVs more accessible , but with Renault’s Zoe gearing up to hit the market in 2012, the French automaker has proven it’s not pulling any punches when it comes to competing with its Japanese partner. In fact, reports give Renault’s EV a starting price of roughly €15,000, which compared to the Leaf’s €27,000 price tag, is a pretty hefty difference. The catch — of course, there’s a catch — is Zoe owners will have to lease their batteries for about €100 a month. With the added battery expense, however, it would still take nearly 10 years for the Zoe to meet the Leaf’s price. We hope this doesn’t put a damper on this 12-year love affair, but honestly, we’ll take an affordable EV any way we can get it.

February 23, 2011 No Comment
Super Talent is living up to its name today with the release of the world’s “smallest and fastest” mini PCIe SSD. When we last took a look at the company’s mini PCIe offerings , they were rocking 40MBps reads and 15MBps writes, but with the release of the new CoreStore SSD line, these exceptional storage makers have destroyed those 2009 specs with speeds topping out at 350MBps and 80MBps. The speedy CoreStore MV measures a mere 30mm x 50.95mm, combines Marvell’s latest controller with DDR ONFi 2 flash, and is compatible with netbooks, notebooks, and other devices sporting a second gen mini-PCIe slot. Those devices working a standard PCIe slot can expect 350MBps reads and 220MBps writes with MV’s big brother, the CoreStore MP. Both drives come in 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB and should be available starting next month at an undisclosed price — though we figure true speed freaks will pay just about anything to get their fix.
