Electric energy has a lot of advantages. It is easy to store, easy to convert, it is safe, easy to transport and easy to produce. It powers our modern way of life, but it can do a lot more.

It is also a form of energy that can be produced locally, with wind- or water turbines, ground heat or biogas driven turbines, solar panels or through power-heat coupling.

Who Killed The Electric Car Electric vehicles would be a logical extension to our electrified life. But why doesn't it happen? What's the reason we still can't buy battery electric vehicles or plugin hybrids?

Among other reasons, it is our fault. Because we are still satisfied with stinking, polluting vehicles that not only damage our environment, but also need a lot of repairs and maintenance. Buy the DVD and find the other possible reasons yourself.

My electric truck doesn't need oil changes, anti-freeze, motor maintenance or new muffler parts. Though it only has old-fashioned batteries, it can run for about 60 Miles on a charge. That's more than I need on a daily basis. It runs quiet, good and fast, up to 70mph. No pollution, no need for a gas station, all it needs is a place to 'plug in'.

Even if it would run on energy from coal powered plants (which it is not), it would still pollute much less compared to a gas engine. Because electric motors are much more efficient and don't produce a lot of heat.
