Today, it's almost all about China and the Shanghai auto show, including live photos and details of electric and plug-in hybrid concept cars—and why China is making Toyota very, very unhappy. All this and more on Green Car Reports.

China plays a big role in today's coverage, in fact.

Meanwhile, back home in the U.S., a new analysis suggests that electric-car sales will tank when tax credits expire. Do you agree?
If you're a Nissan Leaf electric car owner with a failing battery, another owners has advice on how to bargain for a replacement battery pack.
The Chevy Volt plug-in hybrid may be sold as a Buick in China, but in the U.S.. Buick is trying to recast its image. Again.
Finally, back to the Shanghai show once more: Hybrid Kinetic showed a pair of electric SUVs with an Italian pedigree.
