Ok, I guess you're right. This is an acceptable language issue, not the usual reporter "simplification".

I am sure the evdl has Russian speaking lurkers, and I would not like to raise their ire but encourage them to speak out as to the status of plugins in Russia or in neighboring countries. I get mistakes/typos like those from newswires from non-English speaking countries, and especially when the translator is unfamiliar with plugins. But give them time, it will all come around full circle. I am glad to get a newswire in English from Russia. They have not caught on like China has that feeding newswires in proper English drives investment$. I troll the non-English newswires, and use an online translator to see if the form of English I am given is usable to post. And I have posted a few of these in the past. Even with the high caliber translators, there is always something lost in the translation-effort. As those that follow my newsiwre posts, I try to give a world view along with the now few tasty tidbits I get that apply to N. America. I feel it is good to know what our neighbor plugin drivers are doing. The sharing of ideas has always led to improvements/advances (this is the good application of Internet use). It looks like AvtoVAZ is moving forward and 'are' producing Electric Lada's (they sell ice versions too). So little info comes our way about what is happening there, even the Wikipedia listing now seems out of date http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AvtoVAZ I too am sometimes caught up with misprints and wording errors. What was originally touted as Russia's plugin series hybrid, the Yo-mobile ё, now seems to be a non-plugin hybrid, and it won't be available to the buying public until 2015. [OT warning, take OT discussions offline quickly But it still does one better than the GM Volt, it can run either off petrol or CNG, something that should be developed in N. America. /OT off ] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yo-Mobile http://www.yo-auto.com/yo-mobile/yo-crossover/ http://green.autoblog.com/2012/09/05/yo-mobile-russias-first-hybrid-delayed- until-2015/ {brucedp.150m.com} ... http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/snarky - On Mon, Jan 28, 2013, at 07:28 AM, Peri Hartman wrote: > Yeah, also you need to charge the "engine" in this model. - - On Mon, Jan 28, 2013, at 05:17 AM, Rod Hower wrote: > Pretty impressive, it has a 60W 'engine' :-) - -- http://www.fastmail.fm - IMAP accessible web-mail _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA) _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
