...Here's how it works: every car owner will be required to purchase a GPS machine that is able to send data tracking the distances of trips to a billing agency.

People driving a standard family sedan will be charged 3 euro cents per kilometer in 2012, with the tax going up every year until 2018, when it is expected to top out at an average of 6.7 cents per kilometer. So, for instance, a trip from Amsterdam to Eindhoven and back - a distance of about 250 kilometers - will cost...

Tesla says it will use the loans to support two specific projects, including the U.S.-based production, engineering and assembly of the Model S, an all-electric family sedan. The Model S assembly plant will employ about 1,000 workers in Southern California. "We're already engineering the Model S, a seven-seater family sedan that will have a base price of $49,900 after a federal tax credit that will [over the longer term] cost the equivalent of a car that retails for $35,000, given the relatively expensive cost of gasoline vs. electricity," says Diarmuid O'Connell, Tesla...

The company is already selling the F3DM, a $22,000 Volt-style plug-in car with a backup gasoline-powered generator that recharges the battery, and it will begin selling an all-electric...
...same thinking lies behind Coda Automotive. The joint venture began after Lishen started producing electric batteries for Miles Electric Vehicles, a small-scale startup founded by former Ralph Lauren executive and philanthropist Miles Rubin. Coda Automotive, Rubin's next project, takes that relationship a step further. The Coda sedan (the body is made by another Chinese auto company, Hafei Motor) will run for about $45,000 when it goes on sale in California in 2010. Coda expects to sell about 2,700 cars in the first year, with an annual sales target of around 20,000. For Coda's Czinger...
