As things stand, if you own an electric car, you face the obvious major problem of having to have it recharged. For the time being then, a hybrid car remains the most practicable option for people who really need to get around a lot doing long journeys etc., but want to drive in an eco-friendly [...]
Honda’s ninth generation Civic looks great on the outside and offers environmentally conscious customers improved fuel efficiency across the range of six different models.
Of all the green cars around in the world today, there’s really only one that can lay claim to being the greenest of the lot and that’s the Honda Civic GX. The Honda Civic GX is powered by natural gas and was voted “Greenest Car of 2011” by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy.
The transportation industry has become a major issue that needs to be addressed with regards to the abundant of vehicles that we have on our roads all contributing greenhouse gas emissions. Gasoline based automobiles are a major contributor to global warming, actually the second largest contribute. As society becomes more aware and more willing to change and adapt we begin to see new types of vehicles that are more efficient, run on new types of different cleaner fuels. And ..
For the first time, a fleet of mass-produced zero-emission vehicles took to the streets of Africa. Renault-Nissan provided shuttle services for the delegates of the 2011 UN Climate Change Conference with a dozen zero-emission electric cars. They also made the Nissan LEAF and the Renault Fluence ZE available for test drives.
If you’re looking to adopt a more environmentally friendly way of driving, then there’s a simple idea that could drastically reduce the amount of emissions your journeys create and save the amount of money you spend on fuel. Drive like you’re riding a bike.
Although there are government incentives across the world for the increase in the numbers of electric vehicles there has still been a limited uptake by the general population. Electric vehicles still cost more than conventional petrol or diesel cars and hybrid cars because of the extra cost of their lithium-ion battery packs. But in the same way as prices of hybrids such as the Toyota Prius or the Honda Insight fell, the prices of electric models are reducing as these battery packs are produced on a bigger scale, and are expected to continue falling.
A Hybrid car is an automobile that uses a combination of at least two unlike fuel sources for its impulsion. Even though many combinations can be possible, normally when people are discussing about hybrid cars, they are referring to cars with the combination of either an electric motor, or a gasoline engine, or a battery that influences the electric motor and stores energy for future use.
It is great to see some the big car manufacturers finally starting to see the light and begin to produce cars that are much more environmentally friendly then they have been building over the past few years. And I am sure if you have been following our blog then you may have noticed that we have become a bit of a fan with the Nissan electric car known as the LEAF. So, today I thought we would compare the popular American built Chevy Volt with the Nissan LEAF to see how they match up against one another.
See how people are reacting in this follow up post to Yesterdays, launch of the new Nissan LEAF “Fully Electric car” in the UK, some say it is comparable to turning back time thirty years to 1979 when gasoline costs were around £1 per gallon.
