It's interesting that the biggest new push being made by car manufacturers is for electric cars - not ( like many forecast) for hydrogen cars.
Hydrogen is on the market, sure, but it's electric cars that are creating sparks on the current international scene.
After the big fuel shortage scare came the near financial collapse of major companies in the world motoring industry. Then came the big DIY by motorists as they converted their cars themselves to either hydrogen or electric.
The fuel shortage problem is still there and the situation now for the motoring industry is a delicate one. They have to get their marketing right to capture enough business just to survive.
Trouble is that these new technology cars cost a heap of money. DIY is still a better financial alternative on the electric front.
DIY electric car conversions total about $300. The conversions are quick to do and require no special mechanical knowledge. All you need is a DIY manual. They can be done on any type of vehicle in any country.
It costs about $1 to charge your car from your electric plug at home. You can travel up to 100 miles (160.9 kms) on a simple charge. You will get up to 55mph (88.5 kph).
There are various manuals on the market but the one I like is by environmentalist Peter Millward whose whole family drives electric cars. To help improve the environment Peter is currently offering his 40-page manual for a very low price. It also comes with numerous bonuses and a money-back guarantee.
As well as being totally clean for the world environment, electric cars help reduce noise pollution.
