Yikes, isn't $465,000 a little much to pay for an EV1? But that's the amount that it seems someone paid for a 1998 model in British Columbia recently. That's just nuts. It's $465,000 Canadian, but still. We'll save our pennies for the B0 (B Zero) or the Nuvu, thank you.

More headlines after the jump.

Paris, Paris and more Paris. The new Honda Insight, the Opel Insignia EcoFlex, the Renault Z.E., the Venturi Volage and more. Plus the Lexus Prius.

All right, get your Back to the Future jokes ready. An all-electric 1981 DeLorean is currently on eBay and, if you bid high enough, comes with a flux capacitor. For slightly less money, you can also get a Mercedes-Benz S 320 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY. But, if you really want to help America, says Terry Tamminen, be a patriot and ride a bike.

On the top: the previous design. On the bottom: the latest version of the Aptera Typ-1. Like the changes? (Read more about them here). Also, we want to ask you a question: Should GM enter the Chevy Volt in the Auto X Prize? Could be good, could be real embarrassing.

AutoblogGreen continues its AltCar 2008 coverage with a look at the "poor man's Tesla", the Triac and an electric motorcycle. And what's that that the LA Times guys said? Interesting stuff, that's what. But we all stop our yammering and listen to Uncle Neil when he gives us a LincVolt upate.

We like us some non-gas-burning Porsches, like the converted Boxster MIIN-AER and the possible all-electric Cayman coming from Ruf. But you knew that already. What you might not know is that, with some electric vehicles, you need to Water and Charge your batteries regularly! Emphasis in original. I'm sure Chrysler will not require such nonsense with its new line-up of EVs, and we think up five concept cars the company could have used for its big EV rollout.

Been lookin' for an air-powered 1999 Porsche Boxster? Here's one, called the MIIN-AER. AutoblogGreen found it at the third annual Alt Car Expo, which starts today in Santa Monica. Over in Paris, they're getting ready for a VW Passat BlueTDI sedan and wagon, while Detroit is probably already salivating over the 550 new jobs that GM says the Volt will bring.

Chrysler gives us videos of their new EVs on the road, Toyota brings some RAV4-EVs back from the dead. And Kia readies the cee'd hybrid. Never really a dull day on AutoblogGreen, and if you're looking for some real green car meat, read this.

Does the image of John McCain driving around in one of his three GEM EVs make you like him more or less? Similarly, how 'bout this Senator with a plug-in Prius? Plug-in vehicles would've helped people in Nashville keep a cool head over the weekend when a rumor caused the whole town to run out of gas. Whoops.

Freed from the confines of the RenCen, the production Chevy Volt looks pretty good moving down the road in this video. Speaking of looking good, is a Smart Fortwo the best way to sell "male enhancement" products?
