You can now send Google Maps directions to your Ford Sync-equipped vehicle
Posted on June 8, 2010 | No CommentsOh, a car story written by Nicholas. This is sure to be riddled with errors! (Kidding&mdas;or am I?)

That is, from Google Maps on your computer or mobile or whatever, you select a destination then send it straight to your car. That way, when you hop in the saddle—cars have saddles, right?—your destination is all marked out for you. Pretty neat.

Charry: Outdoor charging box for electric vehicles
Posted on May 3, 2010 | No Comments
One critical factor that stands in the way of electric vehicles becoming mainstream is the lack of charging stations once you're on the road with your e-bike or electric car.

The Chevy Volt 200 degrees test
Posted on January 14, 2010 | No CommentsThis test is no doubt neat. I mean, automakers test the exterior to make sure every piece can withstand extreme temperatures and they should.
