    G. David Felt Staff Writer Alternative Energy - www.CheersandGears.com Seattle's Aggressive EV Plan by 2017 / 2025 Living in Washington state where the state has chosen or forced based on your take of the political people in Olympia, the state's capital to move the population from petrol to EV auto's and drop all support for alternative fuels this comes as no surprise to me. Seattle mayor announced yesterday a huge push to triple the number of fast fill charging spots by 2017, only 1 year away as well as cut in half the amount of green house gas produced in Seattle by 2025. How you might ask is he doing this? The city starts with the private residence where they will offer loans / payment plans to encourage people to install their own charger of choice into their garage. Puget Sound Energy (PSE) is offering $500 towards this install, the state is offering up to half the cost and Seattle now will finance the rest. All new private construction must now have included an EV charging station. All new commercial residential buildings (Apartments/Condo's) must have X amount of spots for charging based on the size of the building. All new commercial building period will now be required to reduce transit emissions through building tune-ups every 5 years and other operational improvements this includes having so many charging stations available for use by the work force in the parking garages. Seattle is going to triple by this time next year in 2017 street access charging stations. The city is putting in place plans to support workers living in the city with affordable green housing. Seattle has also committed to an an VOLT fleet of city auto's replacing all gas powered cars. They are also looking to find alternative auto's for their trucks and pushing forward with a complete electric city bus fleet. Video and news coverage is found here: KING5

    Remember we are all adults, professional and need to take the higher road and not get sunk into the quagmire muck of auto silliness. Respect each other and make valid cases for your belief and reasoning on why we do what we do.

    I think you mean Kia and not Hyundai. Hyundai dropped their minivan (Entourage) in the late 2000s. Yes, thank you for the clarity there, it is Kia who still has a minivan. Still wonder why the name change, would love to see if this was focus group driven or some other marketing or just Sergio wanting to screw everything up before he goes.

    Awesome Review, makes me want to try the burger.
  5. G. David Felt
    WOW, What a beast, that would be cool to drive.
  6. G. David Felt
    Ummm You forgot Asian Auto's Suck German Auto's Suck French Auto's suck even bigger Italian Auto's suck the most, Sergio must have blown just about everyone for his job. Only ones that do not Suck I think is the smaller communist ones they just blow all the time!

    Sounds very competative. I would love to better understand why they dumped their original names and went to use this crossover name plate? Honda, Toyota and Hyundia have not done this. I really hope the Hybrid is as good as it should be and ends up being the darling in sales.

    Very interesting, this goes with what I have seen and heard from coworkers. I do also wonder how these services will fair with the recent news of the sexual assaults by drivers? We are in an interesting era where most people still see security and safety in owning their own ride.

    Sounds like a rebirth of the SVX sports car but in a Hybrid form.

    VW Just needs to say hey, we screwed up and here is your money back for our failed auto. Take it, scrap it and move on.

    Mmm..Lamborghini Espada..only seen a couple of those over the years, at Concours shows. This was clearly a guy in his 60's and drove it like he was going to hell. It was lovely, sounded and looked great.

    So this begs to be asked, was he aware of the fraud? Did he have a hand in the mess that is now in front of the world? There has to be a reason for his immediate quiting. This is interesting and seems to have raised plenty of questions on what is VW hiding still? Gut tells me VW will be buying back plenty of auto's for the crusher.

    ^^^ +1 So True Drew, EMC Presses very hard to have everyone participate in the greatest place to work surveys.

    Good Point probably like Porsche SUV airbag system it will probably have a range to choose from for use.
  15. G. David Felt
    You can clearly see it does ride about 3-4 inches higher than the regular RR, but I wonder just how high it will be when done. As most companies are lowering all auto's. So this is not that much different, Hopefully better looking though.
  16. G. David Felt
    This is the right move and my gut tells me all Auto makers over the next 18-24 months will move to a universal platform that can support petrol, Hybrid and EV auto's. Makes sense to have a single platform rather than multiple.

    i actually have a 1995 caprice classic, and yes it has a 4.3 v8 also knows as "the baby ls1" Yup the family had a couple of these, all retired and long gone but was a solid baby V8

    Wonder what the Hybrid Pacifica will get. My gut tells me the hit or exceed 30 on the Odyssey will be a hybrid model.
  21. G. David Felt
    +1 for stating what many of us agree on, Buicks EV entry should be an Electra EV!
  22. G. David Felt
    Drew had mentioned he would love to electrify his Buick if memory serves me correct.

    Welcome to the Land of OZ! Look forward to seeing what you find on your travels.

    Saw the story of this stop by police, the woman was heavily drunk in Roselle, Ill. Damn, I say the Lincoln Wins, Love to see a Euro or Asian Auto do this. Check out the Video on CNN http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/07/us/tree-car-driver-arrested-illinois/index.html Can anyone top this? Figure we could go for a good auto versus nature thread!
  25. G. David Felt
    Nice write up, glad to see they are improving the auto so much. Wonder if because this was a loaner for auto reporters if the car is not on an older version of software or if the car was just trashed on by other drivers so the turbo is confused?
