electric car? helpp?

Q. okay im turning 16 next year late september. i want a car that plugs in or doesnt take any gas whatsoever.

it has to be cheap. like really cheap. but all sugestions i will look at.
i have seen one at a funereal and the car diedi guess they didnt charge it but i want one.
i cant find any really.
also it can be powered by water too.
no hydrogen b/c i dont trust the bags it is in. i watched a video in science and if the bag busts then i might die. so yeah.
when i say hydrogen i meant the bags of hydrogen its a bag that can strech and the hydrogen soaks in the bag material and stays in there.


Answer
electric cars( that actually work) are new you wont find one cheap, they made a bunch in the early 90s but they sucked, you would have to buy one new and new cars are expensive. alternatively you can get a diesel car and convert it to run on used vegetable oil very cheaply, and get free fuel from restaurants, but it takes work because you need to talk to the restaurants and get them to give it to you, it becomes a problem with long distance driving.

also since most electricity is made from burning fossil fuels and it takes more, you actually increase your carbon footprint with electric cars usually(just so you know)

that other guy is wrong though there is a pure water car but it isnt commercially sold in the states one that converted it wouldnt work because the energy needed to separate it is the same as is given off by combining them making a car that did that completely useless because the energy would equalize resulting in no power to anything else
there is also one that runs on compressed air currently being sold in inda

Anyone know where I can buy an electric car?

Gas at Chevron is $4.10. I'm tired of it.

Unfortunately the only highway capable electric car currently in production is the Tesla Roadster. Another unfortunate thing is all 600 of 2008 units have been sold and many of the 2009 are gone too. Unfortunate number 3 is the price tag is $100,000 and going up due to foreign currency exchange rates.

The next group of electric cars are the Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEV) some times called Low speed Electric Vehicles (LEV). They have an upper speed limit of 25 or 35 MPH depending which state they're in. They are available NOW in almost all states. Google names like ZENN, Dynasty IT, Miles Electric, GEM, ZAP. They are available now but have limitations being designed for putting around within 20 miles of home.

There are a couple of highway vehicles coming before 2010. Both ZENN and Miles plan to have regular sedans ready by 2009. Another is Phoenix Motors with their SUT and SUV. Tesla has already started work on their affordable sedan, code name white star, and hopes to have it on the road before 2010.

2010 is going to be a magic year. Chevrolet will have their Volt ready by November with the 2011 model year. It's not much of an EV, only goes 40 miles on electricity then the gas powered range extender kicks in to power the car. At least 3 Japanese companies, Subaru, Mitsubishi, and Nissan will begin importing full Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) that get at least 80 MPC and more likely 120 MPC.

All I can tell you is, that you'll have to wait. Because in 2003 GM and the other car makers decided to DESTROY all of the EV's they had made in the pursuit of greed. See the film "Who Killed the Electric Car" for all of the idiotic details.
