Another reason to thank the Obama Administration: there is more money available for green vehicle research than there has been in recent memory.
The Department of Energy is slated to dole out $184 million for green vehicle research, with specific focus in the areas of advanced materials, combustion research, hybrid electric systems, fleet efficiency, and fuels technology.
This announcement comes on the heels of the US release of the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf, two models that mark the first mass wave of commercially viable electric cars in the American market.
The deadline for proposals is Februrary 28, 2011, so there's still time to get your ideas into the running for federal cash!
For more info, check out the DOE's Vehicle Technologies Program, which is administering the grants.
