You Will Drive Electrics
I heard about a new system that is going to be put into play for electric cars this morning. This system really sounds like what is going to get people to switch to electric cars. First of all, it will be much cheaper than the current situation with gas cars. Second, it is totally environmentally friendly, the electric cars don’t give off any emissions, and the batteries are reusable.
How it Will Work:
- The company will be charging much like a cell phone company charges.
- You will get your electric car for free, and then pay maybe 200-300 dollars monthly for a certain amount of mileage. (You will be charged for mileage, instead of minutes).
- Recharging your batteries will be free, you will drive into an electric-station (instead of a gas station). You will drive inside of something much like a mechanical car wash. Then, your old battery will automatically drop out, and a new one will be inserted.
- You can then continue driving, without having to pay for anything other than membership. The batteries are rechargeable, so they are reused and put into the next car once it is ready.
From what I’ve heard, the first stations will be set up in Lost Angeles, and San Francisco by the year 2010. The company that is doing this is called something like Build a Better Planet, but I’m not exactly sure. The company was created by an activist that obviously wants people to start using electric cars. He makes the capital, while saving the environment, and saving the US economy.
Why it’s Good for the Economy:
Right now, the US is forced to buy oil from other countries, and we’re in a somewhat economic depression. We are very dependent on the oil supply, so we continue to spend oodles (alot) of money on it. As we funnel our money into the other countries that produce the oil, we become more and more poor. Apparently we don’t have anything of equal value to trade here.
So, once people switch over almost-completely to electric cars, the demand for gas will go down, and so will the prices. Our country will stop spending all it’s money on gas, and boosting other countries economies. It will cost a lot less to drive around, and eventually the gas car will be antique.
I’ll be looking into this project more, and trying to find out ways to donate, because I’d really like to see this get done. Anyone else?!
