			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter" title="EV Conversion" src="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/EV-Conversion-Project-e1333259900248.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="236" /></p>
<p>We all blame the oil companies and the oil exporting countries for the unlimited rise in the prices of gasoline. The present scenario of the economic downturn and the rising prices has almost affected everybody especially the low and medium income groups, even rich have also started feeling the pinch of rising prices.</p>
<p>People have started compromising with their life styles, some of the people have started trying to commute in unbearable conditions and the rich have also started flying in the classes which they used to avoid earlier. Though all this seems strange but there is a solution, but people have ignored it and have only opted for compromise with their life styles.</p>
<p>There is a way out; you can beat the rising oil prices by building your own electric car. You may think it to be a joke but it is actually possible and it is not at all difficult. Once you have built your own electric car, you do not have to compromise with your life style any more.</p>
<p>You will have to search an old car which runs on gas, some tools and an <a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/">electric car guide</a> book. People often say that it for the manufacturers to build an electric car, it not true; you can own one build yourself. It might be slightly difficult for those who have no or little mechanical knowledge about automobiles.</p>
<p>But there are <a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/convert-2-ev/convert2ev-comprehensive-review-by-an-electric-car-enthusiast/">electric car guides</a>, which can be great help to you, you can build your own electric car that too step by step. If you are apprehensive of doing the dirty work, you can ask someone to help you; it can be a friend or a mechanic.</p>
<p>It is really unfortunate that big car manufacturers are more interested in gasoline cars as compared to the electric cars. Most of the countries in the world are dependent on oil producing countries to meet their gasoline demand, the United State is no exception, and everyone has to pay for crude oil.</p>
<p>We all have to find a way to be away from these greedy oil producing countries, which have been looting us for decades. The best option is to build own electric car, which in turn can save a lot of money which is spent on gasoline. You can comfortably visit the places along with your family using your own electric car.</p>
<p>You have to charge your car so that it can run for 150 to 200 miles trip without having to worry about recharging and breaking down. You do not need to have degree in mechanical or automotive engineering, the guide will show you everything and you can build your flawless electric car.</p>
<p><a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/">Electric car conversion</a> is no more a secret, anybody who can read the guide can do it. Your building the electric car will not only prove to be money saver but you can also save the planet which is already doomed with the carbon emissions and noise pollution. This will be a great contribution by people like you to this planet as you will cut on both air pollution and noise pollution.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter" title="GM Volt" src="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Volt-EV-e1325303625904.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="224" /></p>
<p>Though <a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/homemade-electric-car/homemade-electric-car-how-to-get-started-with-a-diy-electric-vehicle/">electric cars</a> date their history back to the 1850s, it is only very recently that they started getting the attention they deserve. There are different reasons that make an electric car a better choice over a gasoline powered car.</p>
<p>Firstly, it is eco-friendly. Unlike a car that uses fossil fuel, an electric car doesn’t emit any exhaust fumes and pollute the environment. Secondly, there is the fear that the existing reservoirs of fossil fuels may get depleted one day. If the oil wells get dried up, all vehicles that use petroleum products as their fuel will come to a standstill.</p>
<p>High cost of gasoline is another reason for an increased interest in electric and <a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/toyota-electric/toyota-prius-battery-replacement-price/">hybrid cars</a>. Over the years, many people have already converted their gasoline driven cars into electric cars. Most of the electric cars you see on the roads are not manufactured as electric cars; they were once gasoline powered cars and their owners converted them into electric cars.</p>
<p><a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/">Electric car conversion</a> can be carried out by the car owners themselves if they have basic knowledge about working of a car and electricity. It is surprising to see that irrespective of the numerous benefits an electric car offers, only very few of them are produced in factories.</p>
<p>The importance of electric cars was clearly understood when the venue of Olympics Games in Beijing was shrouded in smog some years ago. Smoke and fog get mixed up to form smog. Smog is a common phenomenon in large cities and industrial areas where large amount of smoke is produced by factories and vehicles.</p>
<p>Smog not only makes visibility poor but has serious repercussions on the people’s health too. Respiratory and eye problems are common among people who live in large cities and towns.</p>
<p>An electric car is powered by electricity stored in its rechargeable battery. Since the car runs on electricity, there are practically no emissions.</p>
<p>But a gasoline powered car utilizes only a quarter of the fuel for its energy needs and the rest is wasted as exhaust fumes. An electric car doesn’t waste any fuel like a traditional car. It is also very cheap to drive an electric car as it doesn’t need any costly fossil fuel. It needs less maintenance compared to a traditional car.</p>
<p>An expensive part of an electric car is its battery and improvements in <a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/toyota-electric/toyota-prius-battery-guide/">battery technology</a> have made battery life longer. New batteries can store more electricity and they need less frequent recharging.</p>
<p>Another good thing about an electric car is its silent functioning. Since no internal combustion takes place in an electric car, it doesn’t produce any sound at all. By converting your car into an electric car, you can make the best use of your old car which otherwise would have become junk.</p>
<p>It is much cheaper to convert an old car into an electric car than buying a new one. Any car owner who has the basic skills, tools and knowledge can convert his/her car into an electric car. If you search on the internet, you will get all the information you need on car conversion.</p>
<p>Since electric cars have so many advantages, they will outnumber the gasoline powered cars in the near future.</p>

<p>For the last couple of years, the electric car <a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/batteries/how-to-handle-the-batteries-on-your-electric-car/">DC batteries</a> have been put to different design tests to check out the optimum efficiency. The prototypes were built to test the designs which were offered for sale after making certain designs adjustments. It is fair to say this is an exciting time for electric vehicle (EV) enthusiasts.</p>
<p>Today the world has greatly improved <a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/toyota-electric/toyota-prius-battery-rebuild/">battery storage</a> technology which has aroused great interest in the practicality of pure electric cars. Before, no one gave a lot of interest to EV when gasoline prices were relative low and batteries were not up to the mark.</p>
<p>Now, the situation is very much different. With the rising gas prices and battery becoming smaller, lighter and able to last longer, the humble <a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/">electric car</a> is getting much attention these days and is gaining popularity.</p>
<p>When EV was introduced to the mass market, there were problems with earlier models because they were powered by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_current" target="_blank">Direct Current</a> (DC) energy source. The older batteries which supplied the power were very heavy in weight and have proved ineffective due to battery life.</p>
<p>The biggest issue was that these cars required highly powerful electric motor to move the vehicle because the weight of the batteries was very high. Such a drawback limited the range and increased demand for more batteries. More battery means more weight to the car. Can you see how this is a perpetual negative cycle?</p>
<p>The main goal of EV manufacturers was to reduce the weight of the batteries and have it last longer before needing a recharge. Engineers were desperately trying to find an alternative to DC batteries. Luckily, they have made novel designs improvements on electric cars making it less demanding on the batteries.</p>
<p>One system which engineers used was to put a small generator that uses gasoline to charge the batteries. This method proved very effective as this system kept band of batteries enough charge to run the cars on electric motor thus extending its mileage.</p>
<p>Other system which was being explored simultaneously was to have Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels to charge the batteries as the EV is being driven during day time. The additional charge from the PV panels will definitely keep the batteries juiced up when it is on the road.</p>
<p>This system worked very well on sunny days but ineffective during night time. Although not perfect, the range of electric trial cars got broadened.</p>
<p>Due to the technology improvements in the recent years, the public interest on pure electric cars has increased tremendously. As battery designs have become smaller and lighter, the life span of a charged battery is also improving. With the constant improvement in battery technology, it is only a matter of time before the practically of EV out strip a car using an internal combustion engine.</p>
<p>The only problem now is the cost of such batteries which makes electric cars more expensive. With the advancement in the technology and mass production, prices are expected to come down. There is a hope such cars will be available in the market in next couple of years.</p>
<p>As a matter of fact, you can already purchase road ready pure electric cars from BMW, <a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/chevrolet/chevrolet-volt-what-you-ought-to-know/">Chevrolet</a>, Nissan and Ford. Understandably, EVs are not as good as their fossil fuel burning brothers. But give it some time, technology will make it better.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Pure Electric Car" src="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Volt-EV-e1325303625904.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="224" /></p>
<p>Have you ever spotted an electric car on the street, it is quite impossible to identify such cars as these cars quite resemble gasoline powered cars? If you are an automobile enthusiast, you can probably spot easily an electric vehicle (EV) among many cars, the other way is to spot an electric powered car is the excellent level of silence that these cars have.</p>
<p>The beauty lies in the silence of the motor of electric powered cars which does not produce any deadly emissions. The technology of the gasoline powered and electric powered cars is totally different and all the difference lies in the hoods of these cars.</p>
<p>If you want to know the working of EV, you need to explore the hood by opening it. The gasoline powered car engine contains many boxes and pipes which looks like a complicated plumbing work but with pure electric cars, the features are totally different and looks like a complicated electrical work.</p>
<p>The car which is electric powered uses its motor to power the wheels which will be totally different than gasoline powered cars. The <a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/electric-motor/cheap-electric-motor-for-electric-car-use-forklift-motor/">electric motor</a> directly uses electricity and starts rotating, which means the power is instant and this power can be used from the get go.</p>
<p>The main problem with EV is when it climbs a steep hill. This energy system is not adequate to propel the car upward on hilly surfaces. This is one of the challenge EV manufacturers are working very hard to resolve.</p>
<p>Initially, the electric car motor were powered by normal car batteries which did not have long usage life, but now this issue has been resolved to great extent by using modern <a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/toyota-electric/toyota-prius-battery-guide/">lithium-ion batteries</a> that will allow you to drive your eco-friendly vehicle for a longer duration without having to be recharged.</p>
<p>The working principle in the electric vehicle is an AC charger which charges the battery unit. After starting the vehicle, the power is directly passed on from the battery bank to the electric motor. There is a meter which is known as voltmeter instead of gasoline meter normally found in gasoline run cars. The voltmeter shows the level of remaining battery charge which is an indication to get the batteries recharged.</p>
<p>Pure electric cars do not have clutches therefore you have limited control on the power output from the motor. Instead of an accelerator, it has a potentiometer that allows increasing or decreasing the torque generated by the electric motor.</p>
<p>If you are planning to use air conditioner in your car, there is an additional battery source used for onboard heater. The power windows and other accessories are also powered by this secondary electric power source.</p>
<p>As compared to an automobile powered by an internal combustion engine, increasing the speed on an EV will give you a lower mileage because more current is needed to power the motor. Understandably, the present pure electric cars in the market have many flaws. But with the passage of time and improvement in technology, these cars will become more efficient and most importantly become cheaper to buy. Pure electric vehicles are the best alternatives to gasoline which has contributed to the destruction of our environment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Solar Powered Car" src="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/solarcar-e1321657683613.jpg" alt="" width="330" height="219" /></p>
<p>Though the concept for a solar powered car is there, a practical car powered by solar cells is yet to be manufactured. To produce a car that works on solar power, the technology to harness and store solar energy has to develop further.</p>
<p>The Photovoltaic (PV) solar cells which we use today can produce energy but the problem is its storage. The weight of the car is another problem. As the weight of the car increases, more energy will be needed to move it.</p>
<p>If solar cells are going to be installed on a car, the car needs to be extremely large since the PV panels occupy lot of space. A large car will naturally have more weight. Then there are the <a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/battery-reconditioning/deep-cycle-battery-maintenance-guide/">deep cycle batteries</a> which add more weight to the car.</p>
<p>A pure electric car will have a series of batteries stored inside the vehicle. The entire battery storage system setup can be quite heavy. When we include the weight of the passengers and the driver, the car becomes quite heavy and it will be difficult to install so many solar cells to produce energy sufficient enough to move a heavy car.</p>
<p>So what does this means? Well, it means that a solar powered vehicle will remain just a dream as long as the technology to produce and store the energy generated by the PV cells doesn’t develop further.</p>
<h1>Technology Development Needed</h1>
<p>Increasing the energy production capacity of individual solar cells and decreasing the size of power storage batteries are some of the developments that should take place in order to a solar powered car to become a reality.</p>
<p>It is estimated that if each Photovoltaic cell doubles its energy production and that the weight of batteries could be reduced by half, a solar powered vehicle will hit out roads in only a couple of years.</p>
<p>Developments in <a href="http://www.nanosolar.com/technology" target="_blank">nanosolar technology</a> have given hope to solar powered car enthusiasts. Unlike the traditional solar cells, nanosolar technology uses a spray of solar cells and the spray can be applied all over the body of the car. The spray contains very tiny solar cells which are capable of converting solar energy into electrical energy.</p>
<p>These nano solar cells are infrared sensitive and so can utilize infrared rays from the sun to produce energy even when the sun is covered by clouds. These dot-like solar cells can be installed on the car by mixing them with the car paint.</p>
<p>Irrespective of the weather conditions, the nano solar cells will go on producing power to charge the batteries on the car. Though nanosolar technology can produce more energy, but the problem of weight still remains unsolved. The heavy batteries have to be there to store the power produced by the nanosolar cells.</p>
<p>Efforts are on to increase the solar power output by spraying these solar cells on to windows of vehicles and homes. American scientists are investigating into the possibility of producing solar power on a large scale by installing a large number of PV panels and storing the power for use in electric vehicles throughout the country.</p>
<p>This is a feasible project as the technology to produce and store solar energy already exists. What does not exist is awareness among people and government that solar energy is a viable source of clean and renewable energy that can be put to different uses.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Electric Car Charging" src="http://www.treehugger.com/comet-electric-car-charging.jpg" alt="" width="374" height="219" /></p>
<p>With a growing realization that gasoline/diesel powered vehicles, that include cars, SUVs, trucks and transport buses, all are major pollutants of environment, people have started looking to auto manufacturers to bring out engines that do not emit harmful gases.</p>
<p>In this context, we fancy that vehicles powered entirely by electric engines without there being any fuel to be ignited, may hold the key. There are already some manufacturers who have come out with electrically driven cars. There is no doubt that such vehicles are eco-friendly and we need to know more about them.</p>
<p>Electric cars do not need any variant of fuel and thus can obviate the need to further consume the already depleted petroleum resources; of course the saving in costs thereby could be a huge relief in times of sky-rocketing gasoline prices. By making use of <a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/electric-motor/where-to-find-cheap-electric-motor-for-diy-electric-car-conversion/">electric motors</a>, engines are highly efficient; some 600% more than internal combustion engines.</p>
<p>Safety from fire hazard in case of an unfortunate accident because of absence of fuel tank too is a huge plus. One extra risk, however, that electric motors carry is the possibility of short circuit on account of overheating of batteries. This risk is rare and even if it happens, the fire is likely to be on a far limited scale as it is explosion of gas tank that makes the fire take gigantic proportions.</p>
<p>There is now a huge support for use of electric cars with mounting concern about environment and the damage already caused to it in the last century. More and more car manufacturers are showcasing their models and their unique features.</p>
<p>As the number of cars out in the market is growing, prices certainly are getting lower. Customers are finding these comparatively small size cars available at affordable prices pretty attractive. They operate without making any noise which too would impress any user in the chaotic scenario the world all around has become.</p>
<p>One feature that goes against electric cars is that they can run a limited distance before need to <a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/battery-reconditioning/10-tips-to-prolong-the-life-of-your-car-battery/">recharge batteries</a> arises. They are however quite useful for day to day short haul needs.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.teslamotors.com/roadster" target="_blank">Tesla Roadster</a> has hit the market and created some ripples with its price tag of $110,000; the manufacturers claim the car can do some 100 miles on one charge at extremely fast speed!</p>
<p>Initially though the price may seem certainly on the higher side, you have to take into account the much lower maintenance cost as there are very small number of moving parts which mainly account for the wear and tear that entails heavy costs in case of petrol cars.</p>
<p>Add to it the saving on fuel cost and you may find the higher price coming back within just a few months.</p>
<p>Another way to reap the benefits of an electric car is by getting your existing car converted; some readymade conversion kits are already available for certain specific makes and models, that prominently include the Geo Metro, Ford Fiesta, and Porsche 914.</p>
<p>With a little technical aptitude, you may even yourself do the conversion saving on mechanic’s cost! Conversion kits could be in the range of $5500-$7000; another $2000/3000 may be needed for battery pack. It is advisable that you asses your daily run before starting the exercise of conversion. If you are doing 30/40 miles a day, an electric version car, whether new or converted, should give you good service.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Electric Car Charging" src="http://gigaom2.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/evgo4.jpg" alt="" width="414" height="275" /></p>
<p>An electric car is a plug-in battery powered vehicle. Many people prefer electric cars to gasoline-powered vehicles not only because they are environmentally friendly but also because an analysis of running and maintenance expenses of both types of cars indicates that electric cars are much cheaper and more efficient than gasoline-powered cars.</p>
<p>Sometimes people are faced with a dilemma of whether to convert their present gasoline-run car into an electric car or buy a new electric car or better still, go in for a used electric car. In case the decision is to opt for a used electric car, it is necessary to follow certain steps in order to ensure that one purchases a proper electric car on the best possible terms.</p>
<p>Some of the important factors that you should consider when purchasing used electric cars are:</p>
<h1>Determine your needs.</h1>
<p>Determine the type of electric vehicle that is most suitable for your needs. Many models of electric cars, such as the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt are now available in the automobile market.</p>
<p>The Leaf model vehicle is a pure electric vehicle and has a range of around 100 miles, depending upon one’s driving experience and road conditions. The Chevy Volt car is an electric vehicle, equipped with a gas engine as a stand by.</p>
<p>The combination of the two enables a travel up to 300 miles. While the Volt model has most important basic features, the Leaf model is more suitable for travelling.</p>
<h2>The purpose of buying a used electric car.</h2>
<p>It is important to understand the purpose for which you intend to buy a used electric car. If the plan is to use this vehicle for driving long distances, like going out of the town to the forest or a visit a family located away from the city or town, the battery will get discharged before you realize, resulting in lots of problems for the driver.</p>
<h2>Approach a new vehicle dealer.</h2>
<p>Quite often new vehicle dealers also sell used cars. It is better to check with them if they have any good used electric cars in stock. If they are not readily available, register with them in the waiting list by paying a little extra charge. It is a very good option and worth considering.</p>
<h2>Type of residence.</h2>
<p>Some people realize after purchasing an electric car that they do not have proper place to park the vehicle during nights. Electric cars are required to be plugged-in at night. For those living in an apartment, this may not be possible.</p>
<h2>Warranty on the EV.</h2>
<p>Check about the type of warranty available for the used vehicle. It is necessary to ascertain before buying a used electric car, whether it is out of the certified pre-owned programs and if so, check whether batteries of the used car are covered by a warranty. <a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/toyota-electric/toyota-prius-battery-guide/">Batteries of hybrid</a> vehicles usually have a warranty of eight years or 100,000 miles whichever is earlier.</p>
<p>It is very essential to gather every detail about the condition of the battery of the used electric vehicle, particularly if there is any damage to it. For instance, as the battery gets older and the vehicle is used frequently, the life of the battery will accordingly get reduced.</p>
<p>Weather has also an important bearing on the vehicle’s battery. For example, hot weather conditions affect the battery’s life than cold weather.</p>
<h2>Buying used electric cars pitfalls.</h2>
<p>Electric car technology is still new and the cars are manufactured on large scale. Being ‘first generation’ electric vehicles, they may have some deficiencies. This aspect should be kept in mind before buying a used vehicle, though these problems can be ultimately rectified. That is why warranties are very important, particularly in case of first generation cars.</p>
<h2>Hire an electric vehicle.</h2>
<p>There are a number of vehicle rental agencies that offer electric cars on rent. It is better to consider renting an electric car for some time and get a feel of it, before investing on a used electric car.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Plug in EV" src="http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2009/04/21/chevy_volt.jpg" alt="" width="380" height="276" /></p>
<p>Due to mismatch between demand and supply, and unreasonable rise in fuel prices most of the people would like to drive cars which run on alternative fuel, like electricity. People would naturally get attracted to drive these cars, if other things like performance, price and maintenance are at par.</p>
<p>The development of consumer’s electric cars needs lot of encouragement from the government on two fronts, <strong>technology</strong> and <strong>incentives</strong>. This can be further encouraged by allowing people to use quote comparison and affordable insurance for such cars.</p>
<h1>1) Implementation of Technology</h1>
<p>This is such a issue where very little can be done overnight, car manufacturers are already working on various factors like vehicle performance, cost of production, <a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/better-place/extend-mileage-of-electric-car/">convenience of charging</a>, but this is so far limited to battery technology.</p>
<p>This is obvious that when technology improves, performance will be better and cost will automatically fall. So far the charging facility of such vehicles is limited to regular household electricity sources. People are looking options for quick recharging at the end of each trip, so that maximum can be derived from such cars.</p>
<p>Even if this is done, people do not seem encouraged to switch to this option, though it might sound positive, the governments needs to develop some good strategies to lure the consumers.</p>
<h2>2) Government Incentives</h2>
<p>The government can create carpool lanes, so that people get encouraged to use it for faster commutes and save lot of their precious time. This will give boost to electric car drivers and further motivate new electric car owners and drivers. This can be limited to short distances as the <a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/">electric cars</a> have a limited drive range per recharge.</p>
<p>Abolishing tolls for such vehicles can be another incentive, which will definitely have a motivation effect on the electric car users. Like carpool lanes, even toll roads also reduce the time to commute and it is another convenience for the car owners. Offering toll discount would dramatically bring an instant quantifying financial saving as compared to single passenger carpool lanes.</p>
<p>Further use of electric cars for the drivers who drive in big cities can save enormous money which is spent on petroleum products; government can totally abolish or reduce the parking fee for such vehicles. In big cities the biggest problem is of parking, it is not only costly but as costly as owning of the vehicle itself.</p>
<p>A good discount on the parking will encourage people to switch to electric cars, who mostly have to commute in the city area. Normally a good amount of revenue comes from the parking fee, it might be really hard for the city government to do so, but certainly to encourage people to drive electric cars, government will have to think on this aspect.</p>
<p>With the advancement in the technology, the gap between the performance and cost will come down; so far the internal combustion vehicles and electric vehicles are concerned. These incentives can definitely encourage people to use electric version of cars and thus help in building a cleaner environment. This will also save the precious foreign exchange normally used to buy petroleum products from other countries.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Pure Electric Car Charging" src="http://www.electriccarsite.co.uk/files/image/plug_in_wall.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p>An <strong>electric car</strong> is a plug-in battery powered automobile propelled by electric motor. Electric cars were very popular in the late 19th century and early 20th century. However, significant developments in internal combustion engine technology and production on large scale cheaper gasoline cars resulted in the decline in demand for electric cars.</p>
<p>Though the energy crises in the ‘70s and ‘80s made people to look for electric cars again, this interest was only short lived. Nevertheless, there has been a revival of interest in electric cars in the mid-2000s and their manufacture picked up mainly because of soaring prices of gasoline and the need to curb emissions of greenhouse gases.</p>
<p>Many models of electric cars, like REVAi, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.nissanusa.com/leaf-electric-car/index" target="_blank">Nissan Leaf</a>, and Mitsubishi i MiEV are now available in some countries since the beginning of 2011. The re-emergence of electric cars has generated a lot of debate. Many questions are being raised about the utility of electric cars. Many people want to know whether electric cars are really cheaper to run than the usual gasoline cars and whether they are as efficient as gasoline-run cars.</p>
<p>An analysis of running and maintenance costs of both types of cars reveals clearly that electric cars are much cheaper and more efficient than gasoline cars. Electric cars are more efficient than gasoline-powered cars because one dollar of electricity gives more mileage than one dollar of gasoline.</p>
<p>Subject to certain exceptions, basically, a car converted to electric run car at home is 30% more efficient than a car run by gasoline. Several factors need to be considered for comparing running and maintenance costs of both types of cars.</p>
<p>Electric cars run on <a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/ev-conversion/4-reasons-why-lead-acid-batteries-for-diy-ev/">lead-acid batteries</a> and their useful life is three years. The batteries are, therefore, required to be replaced after every three years considering normal usage and wear and tear. A new <a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/toyota-electric/toyota-prius-battery-guide/">battery pack costs</a> around US$2500. This cost should be apportioned over three years, when working out annual operating costs of an electric car.</p>
<p>Depending upon the type of lead-acid battery fitted in the electric car, one or two gallons of distilled water are needed every three months to top up the batteries. Although distilled water does not cost much and if necessary, water can be distilled at home, still, it is a cost that needs to be considered for working out running costs.</p>
<p>The major element in the operating cost is cost of electricity. Assuming that the car is driven 10,000 miles each year and that four miles drive would consume one unit or one kilowatt hour of electricity, the electricity cost per mile works out to 3.75 US cents per mile, with cost of electricity per unit being around 15 cents.</p>
<p>For 10,000 miles run annually, cost of electricity per year would be around $375. The proportionate cost of replacement of a pack of batteries amounts to $833 per year.</p>
<p>The other major cost components consist of insurance, road tax, if applicable, cost of tires and miscellaneous costs associated with wear and tear. The total running costs of an electric car, after considering all expenses excluding depreciation, are likely to be in the region of $1700. Depreciation cost is considered negligible, as prices of electric cars are expected to be stable.</p>
<p>As compared to this, according to the figures provided by the US Department of Labor, while the average expenses of gasoline and motor oil are around $2227 per year, other expenses associated with gasoline run cars, like costs of engine components, exhaust pipe repairs and fluid replacements would be around $2355 per year.</p>
<p>Considering price of gasoline at US$ 2.20 per gallon or even lower, the total annual running and maintenance costs of maintaining a normal gasoline powered vehicle works out to about $4582.</p>
<p>Even without taking into account certain incentives extended to those who own electric cars, such as tax breaks, refunds and also other incentives, like free parking, carpool lane access and public charging, maintaining an electric car is much cheaper than the gasoline powered car.</p>
<p>Any increase in prices of gasoline and oils will, automatically, result in further increase in the cost of running a gasoline powered car and in comparison; the cost of driving an electric car would become further cheaper.</p>

<p>What is going to be discussed in this post are the advantages of a<a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/"> DIY electric car</a> over a gasoline car and the reasons why people like to have an electric car.</p>
<h2>1) No more trips to the gas station.</h2>
<p>Since a pure electric vehicle (EV) runs only on electricity, there isn&#8217;t any need to stop by the gas station to buy gas anymore. The only time you’ll need to stop there is to use their restroom.</p>
<p>Compared to the cost of gas, the cost of charging the batteries of your <a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/homemade-electric-car/homemade-electric-car-how-to-get-started-with-a-diy-electric-vehicle/">homemade electric car</a> is negligible. You may argue about the replacement costs of the batteries, but it is only to be replaced once in 3 &#8211; 5 years and it just costs less than $2000, depending on the type of battery you use.</p>
<p>This is much less than the amount you would have spent on fuel for 3 years for your gas guzzler. Not to mentioned the money you’ll save on oil change, oil filter and fuel filter. Saving on fuel cost is one of the key advantages of having your own electric car.</p>
<h2>2) Less breakdown.</h2>
<p>The internal combustion engine of a traditional automobile has many moving parts and any one of them can go out of order at any time. Replacing or repairing the defective parts will cost you time and money.</p>
<p>But in the case of an electric car, there aren&#8217;t many parts that can go wrong. As long as the battery is fully charged, the car will go on running. If you compare a conventional car and an electric car, the latter is more dependable as there are fewer chances of a malfunctioning part and a break down.</p>
<h2>3) Less dependence on foreign countries.</h2>
<p>The power source for an electric car is electricity from the battery and the battery can be charged from energy local sources. So an electric car doesn&#8217;t have to depend on fossil fuel imported from other countries at a great cost. This makes the EV owners and the nation as a whole self sufficient in terms of car fuel.</p>
<p>The country can save huge amounts of money which otherwise would have been spent on importing petroleum. Let’s give a helping hand to all the fighting men and women in the Middle East by using less gasoline.</p>
<h2>4) Less affected by global political impact.</h2>
<p>The gulf countries export petroleum products to the western world and the income generated by the sale of petroleum products is used to suppress the aspirations of the people for freedom and human rights.</p>
<p>This money, on the other, hand could have been used for the development of those oil exporting countries by providing quality education for their citizens and creating more employment opportunities.</p>
<p>People of the western world who buy the oil to drive their gasoline cars are in a way aiding the governments of these countries to deprive their own people of freedom and human rights. If you use electric cars, you will have the consolation that you are not aiding these governments in their nefarious actions.</p>
<h2>5) Safer on the road.</h2>
<p>Electric cars are much safer than gas driven cars. Gas driven cars have very complicated mechanisms and they have uncontrollable power. You can&#8217;t even imagine allowing your son driving a traditional car.</p>
<p>But if it is an electric car, even small children can manage it. The only risk with an electric car is the <a href="http://cbelectriccar.com/blog/battery-reconditioning/deep-cycle-battery-maintenance-guide/">high voltage battery</a> but compared to the highly inflammable gas used in the traditional car, the danger from the electricity produced by the battery is negligible.</p>
