kids electric cars for sale image

They have electric roadsters that do 0-60 in 3 seconds and have a 100 mile plus range lineing up for production. Just add a small desile generator and some solar panels and it will get 100 to infinity miles per gallon. Why don't they mandate hybred and solor car manufacturing! Think they should make a limit on how much fuel a vehical can consume? Like 1 gallon per hour private and 3 commercial?
Answer
You can't mandate something like that.
The consumer dictates what will be built. The companies respond to that.
When gas got to $3.00 a gallon, SUV and pickup sales went down to its lowest levels since 1995. People were looking into more efficient cars. Toyota and Honda had already thought ahead and been producting them. The government encourages it by giving tax breaks and allowing them into HOV lanes. The US car makers were still churning out SUV's and fell behind yet again. Now Toyota is poised to become the number one car maker because they're able to think ahead, innovate, and respond quicker to the market.
Now that gas is back to $2.06 a gallon, people are going *whew* and are driving SUV's again. But there is a percentage that are thinking ahead and are selling their SUV's and buying the Toyota's and Honda's.
You can blame the SUV and Minivan market in part on the increased safety levels required by the government. Since they require car seats for each kid, a family with three kids needs a larger vehicle so Minivan's were born. Guys were harassed about driving a "minivan" so the car manufacturers created SUV's to satisfy a guy's ego.
Then you have the Hummer type ads. You've seen them. Where they harass the moms now, calling them wimps and pressuring them to buy Hummers. What a bunch of crap.

What are some advantages of getting a Hybrid car?
Q. ..and which one is better? Is there any difference in hydrid cars? I'm thinking about the Toyota hybrid...
Answer
Snob appeal. Just kidding. My sister has owned a Prius for the last 2 years. She bought it "new" and I've heard not one complaint. Go with Toyota because they are one of the first to have perfected a Hybrid priced for the masses (more or less..I'll have to buy 2nd hand) This old world is suffering from pollution, so any little thing can be a positive. I've seen some really innovative electric cars on-line, but have never seen any for sale and one the road. Then electricity rates will climb! Mark my words.
