Electric Cars
Global temperature increase, surroundings contamination and soaring price of gasoline are the threats the present world is confronting these days. Simultaneously inquisitive human nature is striving for other resources to run the vehicles. Electric cars are dear at present. For easiness and speed they lag behind the gasoline-fueled ones, but they will compete in market extensively in next ten years.
Big companies are spending their finances and technology to manufacture useful and long lasting electric cars. Some are on testing position and others are yet being processed for starting in a year or two. News in Press and disputed discussions are enhancing the enthusiasm of buyers. From exuberantly furnished sports car to a Splendid Golf cart, we are listing top 10 on the base of fashion, practical use and originality.
Tesla Roadster
If you are having sufficient money and you are an
ardent car buyer then make haste for this “Green Device” as its manufacture is restricted. This splendid car having two seats with 6’831 laptop batteries costs about $100’000. The pending list for next year is already filled. This fast road runner can go fast from 0-60 km/h in just 3.9 seconds, surprising with pulling a weight of 2’700 pound of vehicle itself in addition to passengers. The only problem now is its one gear propagation, thus reducing speed to 5.9 seconds. But Tesla Motors are making a research to design technology to overpower present defects.Toyota Plug-in Hybrid
In fact Toyota Motors is present on the roads to build up a superior design of their own famous “Prius”. The name of the newly coming New Electric car is not yet proclaimed by manufacturers so they call it as Plug-in mixed expression. They have a vivid outline of the advanced car called Toyota Hybrid-X and their company plans proposes its finalization by 2010.
Particular workings are made on Lithium-Ion batteries which are used extensively in laptop computers. On-board gasoline engine is also setup similarly. But prospects from this electric car are so elevated to beat the record of plug-in Prius’s i-e 62 miles on batteries. So, my friends tighten your seat belts to receive this car.
Plug-in Toyota Prius can run 10 miles on batteries alone. The cost is not properly declared but anticipated around $28’000 to 30’000.
Chevy Volt
Chevy volt is luckily earning good fame in auto market and people from all around the world, US purchasers are anxious specially to see it running on roads. This 4 seated Sedan of General Motors is a wonderful work of engineering and technology. This invention will cost around $30’000 each which is very realistic. This design is made to run 40 miles totally on batteries.
At a later time, 1 liter gasoline will spontaneously be used to recharge the batteries. In these days, General Motors is working mainly on different materials for replacement old-type nickle-metal-hydride batteries. Their current favorite is T-shaped batteries stuck with Manganese oxide.

Venture Electric Car
One can directly say that this electric car on first look will make you laugh and how it feels during drive is a surprise or an experience of fun. A wind engine is attached to catch any possible wind, which adds a 30-mile range hopefully to its 30mph. this plug-in car is loaded extra with a sun sheet at top holding energy systems. 200 cars will be manufactured in the beginning for a limited run. Real manufacturing will be initiated in the year to follow as per Company’s statement.
It seems as a Golf Cart with accessories and there is likelihood of contradictions on its design by local people. An electric car should look innovative and fast in all features. It could cost about $31’000.
City Zenn
Its inventors say that this electric car as “durable, light, more powerful and friendly with environment”. In contrast with other battery operated vehicles. Only a 5 minute recharge time is enough for its heavy batteries to make it run on 250 miles – that is astounding.
Zenn is made by makers living in Toronto. Previously in 2007, they effectively made cars with speed normally called as “neighborhood electric cars”. Now the company is preparing to manufacture much faster green cars motorized by “ULTRACAPACITOR” made by EEStor. As the inventers claim to make a vehicle with No Noise and No Ejections, covering contamination of environment along with Sound pollution. Being as friendly as nature, it is good, but this car would be a bit unsafe for blinds. The makers boast of their all-electrical energy storage unit of this fashionable car.
Think OX
This electric car can normally travel at 62mph obviously 100 miles on charge or more. Th!nk Ox is first 5 seater electric car designed by a Norway based company which was previously a part of Ford Motors. So, anticipations are very high for this electric car. The exact prices and start date is not definite till now. But the good news is that General Electronics has spent enormously in Lithium-Ion battery producers A123 Systems. They will provide the batteries of this car.

LAS VEGAS: Ford unveiled its first strictly electric car on Friday, a Focus which is expected to get up to 160km on a single charge and will be available in North America late this year.
Mr Alan Mulally, chief executive of the number two US automaker, introduced the four-door passenger car at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
Mr Mulally declined to detail the hatchback's total range or how much it would cost, but a Ford spokesman said the Focus Electric's mileage on a single charge would be 'competitive' with similar electric vehicles such as the Nissan Leaf.
The Nissan Leaf has a range of up to 160km before needing to be hooked up to a power outlet.
Ford said the lithium-ion battery in the Focus, which has a top speed of 136kmh can be fully charged at a home 240V charging station in three to four hours, half the time of the Leaf.

The first details of 2011’s £5k electric car allowance have been released by the Government. Subject to approval from the European Commission, the grant will be available from January 2011 and will fund 25% of the purchase price of a new electric car – up to a maximum of £5,000.
The contribution will be available for fully electric cars, such as the Mitsubishi i-MiEV and the 2011 Nissan Leaf, plug-in electric hybrids such as the Vauxhall/Opel Ampera and hydrogen fuel-cell cars like the Honda FCV.
Anyone wanting to claim the grant, will have to buy a car that meets the following criteria:
• It must be a car – not quad bike-based vehicles such as the G-Wiz.
• Emit a maximum of 75g/km of CO2 if it's a plug-in hybrid
• Have a minimum range of 70 miles as an electric-only vehicle
• Have a minimum battery-powered range of 10 miles if a plug-in hybrid
• Have a three-year or 75,000-mile warranty
• Have a three-year warranty on the battery or a five-year warranty if requested by the customer (presumably at extra cost, although this has not been clarified)
• It must retain ‘a reasonable degree of performance after a three-year period of normal use’. Further definition of this is not given.
As with the scrappage scheme, the discount will be applied at the point of sale, so car buyers won’t have to pay the full amount first and then claim the money back. There is no limit to the number of cars you can buy to receive the cash, and the scheme is open to both private individuals and companies.
A total of £230 million is being put aside by the Government, which is enough for at least 46,000 cars. The scheme will run to 31st March 2014 at the latest and be reviewed after 12 months.
Every manufacturer is looking at electric cars, hybrids and fuel cells, either through in-house development or by collaborating with other companies. Here are some of the cars already here – or in advanced stages of development.

Hyundai fulfill his promise to make electric cars in 2010. In a special ceremony in South Korea, Hyundai revealed the first production version of electric cars which they named Hyundai BlueOn.
From design, BlueOn did not differ with the Hyundai i10, because it takes the base of the city car Hyundai, which was developed in the past year by investment funds reached U.S. $ 34 million.
BlueOn equipped with an electric motor capable of producing power reaches 82 hp and 210 Nm of torque. 16.4 kwh LiPoly battery can store energy for a distance of 140 km.
Hyundai says BlueOn can reach 000-100 km / h in 13.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of up to 130 km / hr. BlueOn battery can be refilled in the normal household switch over six hours to fully charge, while filling quickly with a capacity of 80 percent, just within 25 minutes.
