Detroit Flips the Switch on Electric Avenue
Hybrids and Electric Vehicles Light up the 2010 North American International Auto Show
The buzz at this year's 2010 NAIAS in Detroit was electric. As hybrids, electric cars and hybrid plug-ins continue to gain popularity and momentum, the show announced the debut of Electric Avenue.
The 37,000-square-foot feature, on the main floor of the show, highlights nearly 20 high-tech cars from several automakers. Hyundai announced the gas-electric hybrid Blue-Will, while Toyota introduced the FT-CH hybrid. And Cadillac unveiled its XTS Platinum concept, which comes with a plug-in hybrid system that boosts the car's electric-only driving capability.
Some all-electric vehicles included the BMW ActiveE Concept, the MINI E, and Audi's e-tron.
