Stuttgart, Germany (AHN) - Mercedes Benz manufacturer Daimler will go ahead with earlier plans to produce 10,000 electric-powered vehicles by 2012, according to Thomas Weber, director for research and development at Daimler.
To push through with the environment-friendly venture, Daimler is heavily supporting its research on fuel cells, which would lead to the use of lithium ion batteries on Smart micro cars, Smart two-seaters and Mercedes A series.

Still a crappy car compared to the Chevy Volt that is scheduled to be release in 2010... probably cheaper too.... I think I will pass but at least they are moving in the right direction but then so is pretty much all the other car manufacturers...
Maybe. I've heard everywhere from 2010 as a 2011 to 2012 as a 2013. Price estimates from 30K and up.
I buy one in a minute if it was affordable and came out soon enough. My Maxima is starting to get expensive to maintain.
