Making Us At Home on the Range

 

Ready to learn a new term?  Feel like the modern world just doesn't contain enough things to be stressed about?  Introducing "range anxiety".

Range anxiety is the term designers are using to describe the fear potential consumers have regarding electric cars and where to charge their batteries.  Imagine undertaking a trip in your gas-powered car, knowing there was only one gas station between your house and your destination three hundred miles away.  Would you be sure to plan your route and your refill very carefully?  Us too.

That's why the ChargePoint America program is underway.  Tasked with helping change the way America drives, ChargePoint America is providing electric vehicle charging infrastructure to nine selected regions in the United States.  Soon, electric charging stations will be as ubiquitous as gas stations.  And gas stations?  Well, tanks for the memories!

Hey P-NUTs! Hey P-NUTs Here!!

So, we say P-NUT and you - depending on your age - say either "Sure, the bass player for 311" or "Oooh, I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to them".  Well, let us provide you with a third possibility: "Oh yeah, P-NUT.  The cool concept Personalized Neo Urban Transportation vehicle from Honda."

Here in the era of the minimal carbon footprint (or, in this case, carbon tire track) the P-NUT explores the concept of urban transportation with minimal expenditure of energy.  It has a center driving position in front of two passenger seats, and a modular rear engine bay designed to accomodate "a variety of propulsion technologies" - which is how engineers say "different motors".  You can receive updates on the P-NUT and other future Honda vehicles by signing up here.
