With the cities getting
more and more polluted the need for vehicles, which pollute less,
are a welcome respite. The electric cars are one such technological
gift to mankind.In addition the Electric Cars are practical, economical,
and fun to drive!
How
a electric car scores over the traditional fuel cars.
Recharging
off peak
-- An EV charges overnight during off-peak periods of electric usage
at a special low rate using clean-source electicity at a low rate.
It starts out every morning completely full.
Quick and fast --- The
electric motor delivers its maximum power at a standing start, leading
to quick acceleration. Maximum speed of EV+ is electronically limited
to about 85 mph.
Ample Range --- About
100 miles per charge... or up to 200 miles per day if you "plug-in"
at work.
Take it anywhere ---
No exhaust fumes, no smog checks, oil changes or leaks.
Quiet --- No start up engine roar, just concentrate on driving.
Reliable --- Brushless
motor has one moving part, no wrist pins, fuel pump, rods, cams, valves,
carb, smog pump, gas tank, transmission, clutch, flywheel, starter
motor, distributor, spark plugs, crankshaft, head gasket, oil seal,
oil pump, valve lifters, piston rings, pistons, etc., etc. -- thousands
of things that cannot go wrong with an EV! An EV can be powered by
hi-tech lead acid batteries (up to 110 miles range) or Nickel Metal
Hydride ("NiMH") batteries (120 to 140 miles range, or more,
as battery technology advances).
Regenerative braking --
When you take your foot off the accelerator, the motor becomes a generator,
sucking the energy of motion back into the battery. ABS
brakes are automatically applied in emergency stops. Energy spent
climbing uphill is recovered on the way down, rather than wasted burning
up brakes. Regenerative braking makes driving in stop-and-go rush
hour traffic smooth and effortless.
EV uses no power when stopped
--- Gas engines are inefficient at low speed, but an EV motor has
no need to idle.
Zero smog --- Modern
hi-tech natural gas power plants are about 97% cleaner than the cleanest
conventional car
Easy to drive --- No
clutch, no gear shift, full power is available as soon as you step
on the pedal. People who take a test drive, just start driving! You
just concentrate on steering and stopping, there is no engine to start,
no clutch to engage, no difficult hill-side starts, no problem with
stalling, no tense parallel parking episodes.
All Driver Training courses should use EVs !!
