A BETTER WAY TO GET TO WORK
August 20th, 2008
Last month, Tesla announced plans to produce a sub-$30,000 electric car within four years, reinvigorating the excitement around affordable electric automobiles.
Along with ever-so rising cost of gas, demand for electric/hybrid cars has also risen. The upcoming Tesla isn’t the only affordable electric car on the market, there’s the Triac and the Aptera along with the already available (but hard to find) Toyota Prius Hybrid and the hybrid cars GM and Ford are producing that the Model S will have to compete with. Here at Rule 29, we are anxiously awaiting our chance to drive these sweet new green vehicles which will help to curb CO2 emissions.
We always knew that scooters were more energy efficient than cars, but the new electric scooters from GreenEmotor, have risen the bar, with a hypothetical 1800 mpg (it costs 12 cents to fully charge and can travel around 55 miles per charge, so for the $4 costs for a gallon of gas it can travel 1800 miles). One could make up the cost of the scooter in a couple months and look hip doing it.
What are you waiting for, when will you roll in an electric/hybrid car? Which one is your favorite? Gonna switch to a more energy efficient-scooter? How long do you think it will be before the majority of the country is driving alternative-fuel vehicles?
