With the slow economy most of us are looking for ways to save money. Building a homemade electric car is a great way to save on fuel prices. It's really a lot easier and cheaper than you probably think.
1) A homemade electric car will free you from The Big Oil Cartels stranglehold
While we struggle to scrimp and save the greedy big oil companies rake in billions in profits at our expense. We need to break their grip on us and become less dependent on them.
It's a safe bet that gas prices will rise again. How high will they go this time? Can you afford to pay more? Last time when prices topped $4 many families had to chose between food or gas It could go much higher this time.
Wouldn't it be nice to be free from them? Imagine never paying for gas again. What would you do with the extra money? Go on vacation? Eat better? Catch up on bills? Whatever your choice it's better in your pocket than theirs.
2) A homemade electric car is an affordable alternative to an expensive hybrid.
Many people think hybrid electric cars are the answer. But they are expensive. Many cant afford to be strapped with another payment. Availability right now is also an issue. It's questionable whether or not the savings in gas justify the increased cost of a hybrid. Plus your still buying gas!
You can build an electric vehicle conversion for a fraction of the price. There are countless examples of electric vehicle conversion for under $1000. Uncle Sam will even pay you to do it. You can get up to a $1000 alternative energy tax credit.
If you have a car that needs engine work it's probably cheaper just to do an electric vehicle conversion. I was quoted $700 for a complete tune up. Why bother? You can build a homemade electric car for that much money instead.
3) A homemade electric car is a green solution to global warming.
If we don't take care of our planet what will be left for our kids and grand kids? Hybrid cars still use gas and produce emissions. They may be a better alternative than a regular gas guzzler but they are still part of the problem.
It takes a lot less energy to recycle an existing car into a electric vehicle conversion than it does to create a new hybrid car from scratch. Why not take advantage of resources that are already here instead of using all the energy and materials needed for creating new ones?
