Electric cars feature onboard batteries that power an all electric motor. Instead of burning gas which has become very expensive you just plug the car into your power outlet in your garage to recharge the car.

Additional benefits of driving electric vehicles are that they produce ZERO EMISSIONS of pollutants into the air, they are whisper quiet and you don't have to spend time in gas stations.

Electric cars were invented in the 1800's and although many generations of EV's failed their time has come!

Given high gas prices, when you calculate the additional $20,000 to $30,000 you spend on gas over the lifetime of a gas car electric cars are a much more affordable option.

Currently, electric cars need a recharge every 50-200 miles. But, battery technology is improving greatly and milestones are seen every couple years now. So, it is likely any electric car you purchase today will be able to go 2 times or even 10 times as far on a charge when you replace the batteries.

Electric cars are now being produced that are affordable, fun to drive and most importantly will save money and our environment. The "Electric Car Renaissance" of the early 00's resulted in hundreds of companies committing their resources to developing new electric cars, batteries, controllers and accessories.

CURRENT TECHNOLOGIES: Lithium Battteries

In the early 2000 ElectricCars.com was the first website in the world to sell only all electric cars. At first many customers showed interest but decided to wait until electric cars were cheaper and went further per charge. However, gas prices soared worldwide in 2008-2010 and almost doubled in price!

GOOD: EV technology is evolving at an accelerated pace and everything about these cars is getting better!

BAD: People are reluctant to try new technologies, they have faith in cars powered by gas motors and tend to be complacent about gas prices. Auto makers are bound by profits, are enjoying record earnings, are dictated by consumer demands for gas cars and see electrics as a risk.

CONCLUSION: Electric cars, although ignored for years now make sense. The world needs to save itself from poverty and pollution caused by the "oil based society". Electric cars are the only viable answer.
