    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. In the case of bicycles, 37km, for example (as seen in Panasonic's newest models), isn't a bad number for an assisted travel distance, but it's not enough for those really long trips.

    Little Bee, Rustic, Sugar Drop: Panasonic rolls out three new e-bikes in Japan

    Posted on May 3, 2010 | No Comments
    Japan is to get another three electric bikes, two of which are being marketed as "sporty", while one is targeted specifically at women. All three models are made by Panasonic (which announced one of the coolest e-bikes ever just a few weeks ago). The two sport bikes [JP] are called the "Rustic" (BE-ENHL63/pictured above) and the "Little Bee" (BE-ENHB03/pictured below). Technically, both models are very similar, offering an assisted travel range of 32km (Rustic) to 37km (Little Bee), three different driving modes (eco, power, and automatic), and a charging time of about three hours for the lithium-ion battery.

    Even though I know the just-announced Leica V-Lux 20 is nothing more than a rebadged Panasonic DMC-ZS7, I still want it. Bad. I think it's just because it's from Lecia and my heart is speaking louder than my brain. Anyway, the camera is now rolling out to select retailers this is where we get this unboxing video from. Man I want this camera.

    We’ve been looking at a few micro 4/3s cameras recently and I’m really excited about the technology. What you get is near-DSLR quality in a package that’s eminently portable, and unless you’re planning on shooting F1 racers these cameras are fast enough for most shooting situations. The G10 had some low-light issues and felt a bit [...]

    We already knew everything about the DMC-G1 and DMC-G10. Panasonic announced them back in early March and revealed their 12.1 MP sensors, 3-inch LCD screens, and 720p video modes. But the press release back then didn't mention anything about pricing. Don't you hate that? We do.
