Ok, so I’ll admit it. Gas prices are ridiculously high right now and it’s pissing me off. I did have a photo of a Class C Mercedes Benz on my inspiration board (which I was going to run on bio-diesel) but that intention has now officially changed to an electric car. I’m done with gas, its effects on the planet and the oil companies who are making a killing on it. I know patience is a virtue, at least for another year or so before the electric sedan models come on to the market. But, hey, it’s going to be worth it. Look for full size cars that get 150 to 200 miles per charge. No big deal. While I’m charging my I-Pod, I’ll remember to plug in my car. Imagine that.

Here’s what’s going on right now:

Miles Automotive - ZX40 is committed to developing all electric vehicles that use no gas and produce zero tailpipe emissions. Source:: About.com

As stated on About.com, “The XS500 sedan is currently under development and will travel at freeway speeds (topping 80 mph) and will be able to travel 120+ miles on a single charge—to the equivalent cost of about one gallon of gas.” That’s beautiful. I’m betting the color choices will be fabulous.

For all you truck lovers out there, this one’s completely electric, coming out in 2009.

Phoenix Motorcars (based in Ontario California) are developing these zero-emission, 100% electric freeway-speed fleet vehicles including the above truck and the SUV below. They state that the Altairnano lithium titanate battery is a “non-toxic, all-battery solution to eliminate noise and toxic vehicle emissions that contribute to air pollution.” ::Source: About.com

Say hello to my future electric car. Isn’t she sleek and elegant?

As stated on their website, “This SUV will travel over 100 miles on a single 10-minute charge. Holy shit. Did you hear that? “And, with a sophisticated chassis and regenerative braking, this fully electric vehicle is not only powerful, it’s practical and really cool.” Yes, you are indeed.

Phoenix Motorcars, you’ll be hearing from me shortly. Electric cars of the world unite.
