In an all-electric car, high performance batteries store cleaner, cheaper, domestically produced electricity, and an electric motor providespropulsion with zero emissions. In a plug-in hybrid, more batteries than aconventional hybrid allow local all-electric, zero-emission driving with an internal combustion engine for longer distances.

 

Electric cars are very reliable. No oil changes, no tune ups. EVshave fewer than 1/10th as many parts as a gas car. There's no engine, transmission, spark plugs, valves, fuel tank, tailpipe, distributor, starter, clutch, muffler or catalytic converter.

 

The best way to reduce carbon emissions is to utilize the evercleaner, greener, more renewable grid to power transportation. Onlygrid-rechargeable cars can attain the end goal of zero-emissions and ensure fuel price stability. Read more about the

 

Sounds great! Can I getone?
Its very difficult to find an electric car today.Carmakers should offer us the choice of electric cars and plug-in hybrids.

GM, Honda, Ford and Toyota confiscated and destroyed thousands of electric cars, despiteoffers of cash from satisfied customers.

 

In 2005 as a result of the campaign to save electric cars, Ford and Toyota agreed to stop crushing their great electric cars. But the automakers still only sell gas cars.The Electric Auto Association and Plug In America are working for theelectric choices we want now.

 

Now, several companies are working on plug-in hybrid vehicles,including the Toyota Prius and Daimler-Chrylser Sprinter.
