A couple of CleanTechnica’s readers/advisors recently gathered together some interesting numbers and insights. To start this piece, I’ll just repost what one of them passed along to me: I’m finding Chevy Volt replacement batteries online for about $2,300. $2,300/16 kWh = $144/kWh Retail.

Indeed, I may very well have OCD. Rather than pick 10 like any normal blogger, I went ahead and picked 100 top EV stories for this end-of-year wrap up. And these follow the 33 I highlighted at the end of May. Incidentally, I didn’t aim for 100 but just happened … [continued]

I’ll just paste the list (without the intro and extra paragraphs on each) below, adding articles to our own stories … [continued]
Cleantech rock band Tesla Motors has opened its first Superchargers in Germany, as a recent tweet by Tesla informed us: We've opened our first #Superchargers in Germany! http://t.co/QzdX2pBX7X pic.twitter.com/GH6GBV8wEu — Tesla (@Tesla) December 17, 2013 I jumped over to the Tesla Supercharger page linked above and snapped the image above. … [continued]
