Many Americans are not waiting for Detroit to come out with electric cars. They are simply converting their gas hungry vehicles over to all electric.

It is suspected that big oil and their love affair with the gas monsters put an end to the EV1 made by GM a couple of years back. Thier take on it….If you cant put a meter on it what good is it to a company.

It seems that the person or company that designs the best battery will be rich beyond their dreams.

Here is a video showing some regular Americans that are not waiting for Detroit.

It is also argued that if mass produced these types of vehicles would be very cheap to buy for the average consumer as is most often the case and would cost the customer next to nothing in order to get around. Is this a threat to big oil? Most people believe that is absolutely is.

Now if you were to use your solar panel it would not cost you anything to charge your vehicle;-)

David Murray may drive the quietest car in North Texas, powered only by a small electric motor, and not creating any emissions.

“The most common question I get is, ‘Is this an electric car?’ and then they’re like, “Is it a hybrid?’ Nope, it’s a real electric (car),” Murray said.

When his car is low on fuel, Murray simply plugs the power cord into the nearest outlet.

“Yeah, just plug it in here. Just a regular old extension cord,” Murray said.

The self-described computer geek from Kennedale bought the 1993 Eagle Talon from a junkyard for just $750.

“First thing I did when I got the car home was pull the engine out,” Murray said.

He then spent about $4,000 more to convert the gas-guzzler to run on electricity alone, doing all the work himself in his garage at home.

“I bought the electric motor and I was like well, I gotta figure out a way to couple it together with the original transmission,” he said.

The car can hit 55 mph, driving right past the high prices at gas stations.

“I hear people complain about them at work all the time. I just grin,” he said.

Murray spends just $7 per month on electricity to charge the batteries — enough to go about 300 miles.

“I don’t even look at the gas prices,” Murray said.

Only about 15% of the energy from the fuel you put in your tank gets used to move your car down the road or run useful accessories, such as air conditioning. The rest of the energy is lost to engine and driveline inefficiencies and idling. Therefore, the potential to improve fuel efficiency with advanced technologies is enormous. With an Electric Car it costs just $2.00 per 100kms with MUCH more performance than with petrol at $20.00 per 100kms.
