We now have a complete index of the 225 news items that CalCars-News subscribers have gotten in email in the last 9.5 months. All these messages are publicly available at the News Archive http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/­group/­calcars-news/­.

The index is valuable because the archive isn't easily searchable, yet many of the older messages are still very relevant. They help show how the momentum has built toward commercialization of plug-in hybrids.

Below is the complete list in plain text, most recent message first. Each message has the date and the original subject line, followed in most cases by a one-line summary of the message. To read any message, go to http://www.calcars.org/­news-index.html, where the subject lines are all live links.
