German motorway service station operator Tank & Rast, which is playing a key role in creating more charging points for electric cars, is open to working with interested parties on developing the network further. German tabloid Bild reported earlier on Tuesday that carmakers were in talks with Tank & Rast about setting up a nationwide network of charging stations in Germany, citing industry sources. http://www.reuters.com/article/germany-autos-electricity-idUSL8N1DG57A Electric cars are less than 1% of the market. Yet automakers are pushing them big time. Why? dmit it: You’ve thought about buying an electric car. If but for a fleeting moment, you considered the possibilities: Zero tailpipe emissions. No more oil changes, no more tune-ups. Cheap fuel. And it seems pretty cool. Then, if you’re like most people, you set the idea aside. That disconnect is apparent in the U.S., where all-electric vehicles account for less than 1% of new car sales. http://www.latimes.com/business/autos/la-fi-hy-electric-car-future-auto-show-20161114-story.html US demands electric cars make noise at low speed. A US road safety body has demanded that electric cars travelling at low speed make a noise to warn pedestrians. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said the rule was needed because battery-powered vehicles are very quiet. It said the rule would particularly help blind pedestrians, or those with a visual impairment, detect electric cars and hybrids on the road. http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-37986774 Duke Energy funding 200 car-charging stations statewide.

If you drive an electric car, California is a great place to be. It’s the only U.S. state that actually requires manufacturers to sell zero-emission vehicles, and it offers generous incentives to get people to buy them.
