Q.
Answer
depends on what you want.
if you want sheer speed at a good price the Nissan GT-R is hard to beat but it can't go off road or carry many kids around.
personally i think the best overall car is the Tesla Model S P85+. it's large and spacious for storage. it can carry 5+2 people so it does the same job as a minivan, it's fast (as fast 0-60 acceleration as an audi R8), it's safe (highest rated crash test results ever, in fact it even broke the roof drop testing machine while passing the test), it's efficient (being completely electric with a more than usable range the cost to run the model S is much lower than a regular gasoline car), it's good looking (though it might not be the best looking car ever made, it's the best all electric car available making it desirable), it's innovative and has the highest ownership satisfaction of any car.
sure there are cars that can do some of these things better than the Tesla but they usually lack a lot of other things that the tesla excels at.

hybrid electric cars and cost and building one?
Ashley1nOn
i was wondering im only a teen.. i wondered if you are driving the electric cars/gas....yes you are saving money on gas... but how much oney are you having to spend on your home electric bill just to recharge your car.. different areas have different price in electric bills and where i live the price is pretty steep. .so just charing the car is going to cost you home wise....then of course you have to pay for all of the instalation of the elctric system.. you have to get the battery change out...i have heard that there rattled in these hybrid cars when the swtich from gas and go to electric...
my main question is.... are you really saving when you buy hybrid cars........or should you wait on the hybrid cars to come out(later date) so all the kinks in the car are gone...
also wih building a car.. a group of kids and i have a dodge challenger(mine 09 suppercharged i got a new one cult enegry10 srt8 yayyyyme) but what we have done was get a used hhybrid car and took the battery out we have been working on the car for a while to get it to efficenly work on the challenger... it runs smooth and great.... the only problem is that you have to switch it over to hybrid or gas before you turn the car on.... we were wondering is there anyway we could get the car to switch over while the car is on say we are at a red light and want to to it back to gas... what would be a better way to have it.. its a diesel hybrid what we call it.. we did alot of modifacation to make sure it works properly and runs smooth because we still wanted a hot muscle car sound...
so is there anyway we can get the car to switch over while we are driving....
thank you very much,
the future of cars
sorry for my bad spelling
oh and we can get the car to get 23mpg on the electric and 17mpg for just the gas
Answer
You pay 1/4 as much (to go the same distance in the same car) for electric as you do for gas.
Installing a 220V 30A breaker doesn't cost much at all. That can charge an electric car at 15 miles per hour (15 miles of range for each hour of charge). That's as much as you need. For faster charging than that you need to install a special box.
Hybrid cars will get less expensive as the price of the batteries goes down. How much you save in gas depends on the price of gas and how much you drive. Can you predict what the price of gas will be in the next 7 years? Of course not, no one can. But I'll tell you this, it aint going to go down. At $4.00 per gallon, your savings in gas usually out weighs the higher car payment.
Listen dude, we don't know what components you're using in your car or how you have it wired up. How are we supposed to know how to rewire your own creation? But I'll tell you this, taking off from a red light, it's better to have electric and diesel at the same time as opposed to just diesel.
People often think of hybridizing as a way of saving fuel, but that's not actually the case. It's a way of increasing the power without burning that much more fuel. Some car manufacturers use it as a way of getting super high gas mileage by using a super small engine and still having enough power to move. But you could just as easily use it as a speed mod. Like a super charger or nitrous, only instead of burning more fuel and shortening the life of your engine, you burn the same amount and lengthen the life of your engine.
