Electric Cars

As the world faces an extreme environmental crisis with the rising of oil prices, electric car dealers may hold the key to the future – or at least the future of eco-friendly transportation.  Unfortunately, these dealers have been all but crushed by the interests of big oil companies such as Shell, Exxon, Chevron, and Mobile – all of whom have economic reasons to make sure that the secret of the electric car is never released onto the market.

Electric Car Dealers

Although many people looking for sustainable transportation are forced to use an electric car conversion kit to put an electric car motor in another vehicle body, dealers of the renewable vehicles do exist.  Zenn, the Zero Emission No Noise car company, is one of the leading developers and suppliers of electric vehicles, with huge advances in the realm of electric transportation.  Honda, Toyota, GoingGreen, and several smaller names also offer options for electronic vehicles.

Popular Electric Cars

The Zenn Company is currently the foremost electric vehicle supplier on the market, with the “earth’s favorite car” being their model for the future.  These cute mini-cars have become incredibly popular in Europe, although it is still difficult to either find one or import one in the United States.  These cars are one hundred percent electronically powered, with none of the emissions produced by a hybrid or gasoline car.  The G-Wiz, by GoingGreen, is another good bet in the electronic vehicle market, having won the award for “best city car” two years in a row.  For those wanting more excitement – and a fat pocketbook – nothing can beat the upcoming Tesla Roadstar, a snazzy sports car that is as friendly to the eyes as it is to the environment.

Buying an Electric Car

Finding an electric car can be tricky, especially in the United States.  The Honda EV can be leased – but not purchased – in most places on the west coast, for less than $500 a month.  Not exactly a cheap car, but definitely worth considering as an alternative to expensive payments on a car that will be up for sale by the time you are finished paying for it.  Another option, of course, is to perform an electric car conversion from an ordinary vehicle, thus dodging the heavy controls placed on electric vehicles.  Whether you choose to buy, lease, or just convert, your decision to drive environmentally conscious transportation is an investment – not only in the future of your gas card, but of your planet.
