Automobiles - World Goes Electric

It wasn't long ago that the two viable alternatives for the motor industry were hydrogen and electric motor vehicles. Well now it seems that electric has won out. According to German motor leaders and the German Government, electric cars are the future.


This is particularly relevant because Germany is the most successful economy in the world at the moment and because Germany is world famous for producing a wide range of outstanding cars.


At present the country is only producing a few thousand electrics but the German Government has declared it wants 1 million electric cars to be produced by 2020.


France, another electric car supporter, is on the same route and currently providing a 5000 francs incentive to buyers of electrics.


We now have a strong general trend where governments are pushing motor makers to go electric and it's probable on current indications that the whole world motor industry will eventually undergo one of the biggest technological changes in transport history. Petrol and deisel vehicles will become museum pieces and the world will become a quieter and cleaner place as we all buzz around in our electrics.


Of course, that's all fine if you are affluent enough to be able to afford one of these newly produced electrics. I remember the first one off the rank in Australia - a tiny little thing with a huge price tag of $70,000.


If you want to save money on fuel and go electric, then the cheaper alternative is the DIY electric car. A manual costs you the price of a dinner and the total cost is around $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. And don't think electric cars are slow. You will get up to 55mph (88.5 kph)


There are various manuals on the market but the one I like because of its readability is the one by an environmentalist who has personally converted numerous cars. His whole family drives electric cars.


To help improve the environment he is currently offering his 40-page manual for under $50, which I think, is the cheapest currently available. It also comes with numerous bonuses and a money-back guarantee.


So if you want to start saving money now and be ahead of everyone else go electric - DIY electric.
