Electric Cars

As gas prices continue to soar people are looking to save money at the pump. And off course oil will run out one day, so car manufacturers are looking into making cars that do not rely on petroleum fuels. So they have developed all electric cars. These cars run on electric motors, that can be charged from a regular power source. they becoming very popular especially for city driving.

The problem these cars have is that they can not drive for long distances without being recharged. This is because the batteries available can not hold a lot of charge. Also the charging time is significantly high, usually for a full charge the car has to be plugged in all night. But I you live in the city and your average daily commute is less than 30 miles, then you will be fine, because these cars can go up to 200 miles in one charge.

New batteries are being developed that will hold a lot more charge than the current batteries, and they require a lot less charging time. If this happens, then the electric cars will become a lot more popular, and will eliminate the need for gasoline cars.
