Five Reasons you should remember about electric Cars: That electric cars can not carry as much energy as a tank full of gas is irrelevant, in as much as half the planet never drives 40 miles a day. Cars and trucks , and the oil industry which drive them, are this planets single largest environmental problem, and its pretty much in a state of denial, even from environmentalists. Just look at the number of electric cars at the E.P.A. parking lot, or at Greenpeace, or Sierra Club. NEXT TO NONE!! Electric cars are available for any one with the vision or desire to own one. Good used ones from $2,900. New conversions from $8,900, Plus a donor car. Remember, to convert a gas car to electric, is the highest form of recycling. Even if all our power came from coal and oil, (and it does not), because EVs are three times more efficient per dollar, we would have a net gain in air quality. An electric car bought today, will only get better over time. WIthin the next 3 years, batteries will be available which will double and triple your per-charge-range. |
