Tesla Electric Car

admin — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 16:03:19 +0000

The Tesla electric automobile was invented by Nikola Tesla in 1931 and, although the facts were not verified, this electric car was alleged to get up to 90 miles per hour for 50 miles at a time. It ran with an AC electric motor and had two large antennas attached to the car. The Tesla electric automobile was not the only electric car of its time. Electric cars were the first horseless vehicles to be invented and made their debut long before those that ran on gasoline. The Tesla electric automobile has come back, however, and has a prototype roadster that was unveiled in 2007 that uses Lithium Ion batteries instead of the AC motor that was used in the original Tesla electric automobile.

The electric truck is a hybrid truck that allows a truck to run on both gasoline as well as electric power. Electric trucks are not only able to cut down on gasoline consumption, but because they emit less fumes, they are more environmentally friendly. Many companies are looking for a way to save money on fuel costs, especially with the rising costs of fuel. Electric trucks appear to be the answer as they will be able to travel at great distances, but use less fuel than a truck that just runs on diesel fuel. This can amount to significant savings.

Can I Build an Electric Automobile?

admin — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 15:47:07 +0000

Can you build an electric automobile? Of course you can. As a matter of fact, there are many hobbyists who are doing just that. In fact, there is a whole industry of those who want to build an electric automobile to not only save on gas, but also to help the environment. Building an electric automobile is not anything new. In fact, the concept of building an electric automobile dates back prior to the days of gasoline powered vehicles.

Before you can build an electric automobile, you first have to have a basic understanding of how an automobile works. You should have basic mechanical knowledge. There are plenty of blueprints online and even kits that can help you build an electric automobile. You will need tools that auto mechanics use.

There are two different ways that you can build an electric automobile. You can build a hybrid vehicle that will use both gas and electricity to run as well as a car that runs strictly on electric generated from a battery. The battery will need to be recharged. You can get a high powered battery and install it in your car and, in effect, build an electric automobile that is considered a hybrid. A hybrid is a car that runs on both gasoline and an alternate fuel. This will enable you to get more mileage to the gallon. As a matter of fact, the savings will be significant and you will get supreme performance from your vehicle when you make this move. Many of those who wish to build an electric automobile want to save money on gasoline as well as improve the environment. This type of car does both.

Of course, you can build an electric automobile that runs strictly on electric. This is done using a lightweight frame that will enable balance on both the front and the back and battery power. It is not difficult to do, as a matter of fact, the first automobiles, so to speak, were powered by electricity, not gas. It was not until Ford found a way to mass produce cars with a combustible engine that the gasoline car took precedence over the electric car. Even into the 1920s, the electric cars were used for city driving.

So, with a little bit of mechanical knowledge and the right tools as well as frame, you can build an electric automobile. One step that you might want to take is to join a group of hobbyists who will help you with this endeavor and will also give you pointers along the way. Once you have joined such a group, you will find that there are plenty of others who have actually created the car that you want and you can then learn from them how to build an electric automobile.

When you are considering how to convert automobile to electric, you have to ask yourself where you will be using the automobile.

A gas electric automobile will run on both gasoline and electric power. This is considered to be a hybrid vehicle as it uses two types of power. Honda is one auto maker that makes a gas electric automobile.

Another gas electric automobile is the Chevy Volt, although this has not yet been introduced to be public and is not slated for marketing until 2011. This type of gas electric automobile will run on electric for up to 35 miles and will then switch to gasoline.
