I just have to sound off on the price of gas. This is just ridiculous that the price of fuel has gone up as much as it has this year. Our County needs to make a stand an pursue alternative fuel opportunities to reduce demand for fossil fuel. There are lots of companies that are making great strides in this.
I found a company called
Hybrid Technologies That has made such strides and are producing automobiles powered on lithium batteries. Check-out what these cars can do!
- Speed: 75+ mph
- Acceleration: 0-60 mph in 12 seconds
- Range: Up to 120 miles
- Charge Time: 6-8 hours (220-240 VAC) for full charge
- Cycle Life: 1500+ full charges
- LCD Touch Screen: Vehicle operations monitor - miles remaining, power consumption, each cell's level of charge, battery temperature, drive time, distance traveled, and average speed.
- Cost to charge these batteries up is estimated at about $2.80. That's a huge savings in your pocket book.
You still have to consider the price of these vehicles today compared to gas powered. However, the technology is there today to benefit each of us. Imagine going from 0-60mph in 12 seconds? That's just too cool!
Mass produce these cars and thats a REAL Dent in gasoline consumption.
