So yea we arent actually at the stage where the entire car is actually able to be powered by the sun but with this it is getting very close indeed. There is actually something on the market that uses the sun and will actually help your fuel costs in the long run. The thing that could really help you out is this solar attachment as believe it or not your air conditioning actually uses up fuel during the course of the day.
{It works as you can attach it onto a specially made spoiler in which when you aren’t driving you roll out the cover over the top of your car and it starts to actually charge the car up with solar energy}. The great thing about this is that once the item has actually been installed into your car you can use it for so many things from the obvious air con to the CD Player.
If you think where this kind of technology will be in 20 years time you will begin to understand the potential to this kind of product. Just think if everyone went out and bought one of these the money would be raised to make a half decent running car on solar power.
It is unsure if they are going to release this product onto the market or not as of yet but if they do it is sure to start selling to the people who are really interested in these green products.
For people that don’t really care about this and need a new car then look into getting a cheap Audi or perhaps a Audi TT Roadster. There are also many used cars if you do not fancy splashing out on a brand new car.
So it is up to you really on whether you are interested in getting a brand new green car that is going to help save the world and fix some of the awful damages that we have inflicted on it or if you are going to go out and buy a brand new car to enjoy, the choice is really up to you.
The really cool thing about this Riversimple Urban Car is that the fuel cell is going to be much smaller meaning that you will need less hydrogen on board.
It depends on what kind of car you are interested in but if you are into the smaller cars you will love this as it is no bigger than the smart car. For a car of its type it is actually quite speedy reaching at around a bout 50mph which is great for the people that live in the city.
The power actually comes from a 6kw fuel cell which is actually one of the smallest ever introduced into a car like this. it is very important to keep the weight down on this car as it allows the speed of the car to be heavily increased.
There is a bank of ultracapacitors to store this electricity, which in turn provides most of the accelerating power, allowing for a small fuel cell.
One of the really good things about the design to this new car is that once it is all ready it will be made available online for any car manufacturer to take into their own.
One of the great things is that you can lease this car and the lease will actually cover you for the cost of the fuel too.
The head of Riversimple actually stated that we must push forward with the technology rather than get left behind. The sale of cars still rewards the maximisation of resource use – whereas we now accept that we must minimize resource use.”
“The Riversimple Urban Car represents a major step towards practical 21st century personal transport and towards the fulfilment of my great-grandfather’s ambitions for accessible personal transport but this time combining his other passions: light weight and high efficiency,” said Piech.
The real question to ask is will they be upgrading things like used cars to make them greener? If you have recently gone out and purchased a Audi R8 then you are not going to be pleased when you cannot upgrade it to make it a bit greener. Audi Carsare just one of the brands that needs to be looked into.
More charge up points are always being considered and it is well worth looking into it all.
Although London is actually he first place that this all started to happen there have been many other cities now interested in the idea. Brighton is the next place in which cars are going to see a bit of electric activity.
The main reason that Brighton was chosen as the next place is because the company that installs all of these pumps is actually based in Brighton and they have installed more than 100 in London so far. There are just four stations at the moment in Brighton.
The Elektrobay is actually able to charge up plug-in hybrid cars with all customers getting a key that actually unlocks the unit for roadside charging.
Moving to a place that is actually a lot smaller shows that the idea is actually really kicking off.
The problem at the moment is one; there aren’t enough places to charge up an electric car and two; because they’re still a bit rubbish. People won’t buy an electric car for both of these reasons.
However, once there is somewhere to charge up people will get them and that will in turn create demand for more research funding to make better cars.
So although there are actually not very many places where you can charge up your vehicle if you give it a bit of time we could be on to something here.
The real question that needs to be asked is will they be upgrading things like used cars to make them greener? If you have recently gone out and purchased a Audi R8 then you are not going to be pleased when you cannot upgrade it to make it a bit greener. Audi Cars is merely one of the brands that needs some serious attention.
