Utility vehicles are hot. There's no denying it. The best-selling passenger cars in the U.S. have been mid-size sedans like the Toyota Camry for a couple of decades, but now they're likely to be eclipsed by compact crossover utility models like the Toyota RAV4.

It now appears that Toyota may look to airless tires as a way to cut weight in its future electric cars: It debuted the... ![Better Place 2012 Renault Fluence ZE just before return to Renault [photo: Brian of London]](https://images.hgmsites.net/tmb/better-place-2012-renault-fluence-ze-just-before-return-to-renault-photo-brian-of-london_100630806_t.gif)
It is just over five years since I bought my Better Place Renault 2012 Fluence ZE in Israel—and a little over five months since I returned it to Israel’s Renault importer for a cash settlement. By that time, the 22-kilowatt-hour battery capacity was down to 11.3 kwh, and a warning light had been on continuously since July 2016. I gave...
